This Northern Ireland article is about Charles Darwin. What's interesting are the well done comments.

For example this comment:

Yet more evidence, if any were needed that NI swims in a sea of prejudice: Robinson, Wilson, Storey. What a collection! Moreover, not one local newspaper covered the Darwin 200 anniversary, whereas the Irish Times had 2 pages devoted to it.

Since it demonstrates that, far from being separate and different, all human beings belong to one biological race, evolution actually refutes racism. In America in the 19th century it was the biblical creationists who generally supported slavery. Darwin’s whole family were abolitionist and it was his grandfather Josiah Wedgwood who produced the famous cameo depicting a kneeling slave begging: “Am I not a man and a brother”, a motto Darwin himself used in his notes.

In nature, it is not every animal for itself. Co-operation and altruism are as essential as competition. All social animals are dependent for survival on group life. Blackbirds and thrushes give warning calls when hawks fly overhead, even though it puts them in danger. Wolves and wild dogs bring meat back to other members of the pack. In many human societies, free health care and the welfare state have greatly weakened human differences and the process of mechanical natural selection.

In his Descent of Man Darwin argued that we evolved from a long line of animals that care for the weak and build co-operation with reciprocal transactions. He argued for a strong continuity between human and animal behaviour and that human morality would be impossible without certain emotional building blocks that are clearly at work in chimp and monkey societies.

In fact, far from individualism, nihilism or racism being the ethical implications of Darwinism, the relevant philosophical inference for humanity is existentialism. We have no proven purpose or fixed essence but instead we make up our own meanings and purposes. Evolution implies that we are part of nature and that we change. Like other creatures, we are not essentially good or bad but have the potential to be either. We are not static creatures but have the ability to evolve.
