Excerpt from Darwinism and Politics: With Two Additional Essays on Human Evolution
What I have said on pp. 53, 54 anticipates the way in which I should meet this argument. Just because it is not proven that acquired characteristics are transmitted, we cannot trust for the improvement of the race to the moralisation of stray individuals now (however desirable and necessary that is in itself)

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book applies Darwinâs theory of natural selection to the evolution of human society, politics, and economics. The author argues that the unmitigated application of the theory, as some in the evolutionist and free-market camps would advocate, ignores the distinctly human capacity for self-aware thought and action. The book argues instead for a nuanced application that blends evolutionary theory with the capacity for conscious human action. This book challenges its readers to grapple with difficult questions at the intersection of nature and society with important implications for the future of humanity.
