A review by mwatts
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex by Charles Darwin

2.0

A beautiful quote from the end of the book: “The birth both of the species and of the individual are equally parts of that grand sequence of events, which our minds refuse to accept as the result of blind chance. The understanding revolts at such a conclusion, whether or not we are able to believe that every slight variation of structure,—the union of each pair in marriage,—the dissemination of each seed,—and other such events, have all been ordained for some special purpose.” Humans create god in order to feel significant.
Otherwise, this book was so racist and misogynist that I had to stop several times because it became to painful to read. 9.5/10 rating for FTG (f*** this guy).
