Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto and Charles Darwin’s The Descent of Man both present the separation of humans into categories. In Marx’s The Communist Manifesto, he divides the human population into the bourgeoisie and the proletariat based on income, but claims disregarding classes and having a society in which everyone can benefit from the same level of production and do an equal amount of work will lead to a better society.
