The hypothesis of evolution by natural selection, initially formulated in Darwin 's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as an aftereffect of changes in heritable physical or behavioral characteristics. His voyages on H.M.S Beagle as a naturalist amazed him about the inhabitants of the species. Darwin uses various sciences to explain natural selection.
Darwin used anthropology as a framework to understand human origins and how natural selection acts. According to Thomas Henry Huxley he expressed that Darwin has explained, “to produce forms as distinct structurally” as to how humans have evolved. (284). Darwin uses this structure base to express human and how they adapted. He also differentiated humans between two races: blacks and white. He used scientific racialism to explain how some humans have acquired skills, while others have not. In expressing scientific racialism a new term that had been coined “survival of the fittest”. In Descent of Man, Darwin discussed in a chapter on “Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower Animals” the …show more content…
There was an advent of new technology and the new economy. The new economy changed the nature of employment and home life. Darwin expressed the “physiological division of labor in the organs of the same individual body” to express there was hierarchy. (Lecture 4 week 2 slide 25). He used hierarchy to explain how humans will advance while others will not. The factory owners will have a better chance of survival because they adapted to the environment, while the workers at the factory will suffer. The workers will not advance. There was a hierarchy of organism that developed on the industrial revolution, while a racism hierarchy was still here. To better express himself Darwin expressed in hierarchy of organism the developed organism due to natural
