To learn more about Charles Darwin, his involvement in the abolitionist movement, and understand what he risked by publishing On the Origin of Species, we recommend the following, well-researched book, “Darwin’s Sacred Cause: Race, Slavery and the Quest for Human Origins” by renowned Darwin scholars, Adrian Desmond and James Moore. Darwin’s belief in human unity was in direct contrast to many of his contemporaries.
