But the uniformity of savages has often been exaggerated, and in some cases can hardly be said to exist.” ]]> 2023-09-20 02:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711873217 I will conclude with a quotation from Huxley (21. 'Mans Place in Nature,' p.65) who after asking, does man originate in a different way from a dog, bird, frog, or fish? says, "the reply is not doubtful for a moment; without question, the mode of origin, and the early stages of the development of man, are identical with those of the animals immediately below him in the scale: without a doubt in these respects, he is far nearer to apes than the apes are to the dog." https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711887577 2023-09-20 02:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711887577 Group 4: Chapter II: Rate of Increase https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711907403 Paragraph 5: 
" Mr. Darwin finds himself compelled..., especially as to marriage, or savage tribes."
"...a form of the substantial orthodoxy of which he appears to be quite unconscious, and to introduce as a scientific hypothesis the doctrine that man's gain of KNOWLEDGE was the cause of a temporary but long enduring moral deterioration as indicated by many foul customs, ..." 
- Culturally Definition of Racial Hierarchy.
and maybe 
- European definition of European Savagery ]]> 2023-09-20 02:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711907403 Group 2: "In the first few chapters of Types of Mankind, Nott pushed the connection between whites and civilization even further to draw out distinctions between the races. Repeating earlier arguments made byMorton and Agassiz, Nott asserted that the bigger brains of Caucasianshad led them to be natural colonizers, spreading around the globe“extending and perfecting civilization” while the inferior racesremained close to their centers of creation." (Sharp, pg 29) https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711974434 2023-09-20 03:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711974434 Group1 https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711984440 Our Darwin quote touches on the historical ideology of polygenist who believed that different human races were different species. Sharp points out that "polygenesis became increasingly common in the nineteenth century United States" (Sharp 21). ]]> 2023-09-20 03:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711984440 Group 3 https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711984621 "As did the early inhabitants of other European colonies, the early American colonists saw themselves as superior to the native peoples they encountered because of their religion and culture. English colonists demonstrated a sense of superiority because of their beliefs about the religious and institutional history of the Anglo-Saxons...The Anglo-Saxons were seen as a “pure” group of people with a love of individuality and representative government."(Page 14)]]> 2023-09-20 03:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711984621 Group 4: https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2711990397 Sharp's History discussion helps us understand why Darwin said what he said.
Sharp points out:  "In General, these monogenist arguments were consistent with the traditional biblical account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and more recent Enlightenment arguments about the unity of mankind."

But mere bodily strength and size would do little for victory, unless associated with courage, perseverance, and determined energy."]]> 2023-09-27 02:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2722268956 Group 3 https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2722271898 Darwin says "Sexual selection depends on the success of certain individuals over others of the same sex, in relation to the propagation of the species; whilst natural selection depends on the success of both sexes, at all ages, in relation to the general conditions of life. The sexual struggle is of two kinds; in the one it is between individuals of the same sex, generally the males, in order to drive away or kill their rivals, the females remaining passive; whilst in the other, the struggle is likewise between the individuals of the same sex, in order to excite or charm those of the opposite sex, generally the females, which no longer remain passive, but select the more agreeable partners."]]> 2023-09-27 02:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2722271898 https://padlet.com/trotmyway/edjop7n7p0qavg0w/wish/2722276920
