Darwin risked a great deal in publishing his theory of evolution, so something very powerful--a moral fire--must have propelled him. That moral fire, argue authors Desmond and Moore, was a passionate hatred of slavery. They draw on a wealth of fresh manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, diaries, and even ships' logs to show how Darwin's abolitionism had deep roots in his mother's family and was reinforced by his voyage on the Beagle as well as by events in America. Leading apologists for slavery in Darwin's time argued that blacks and whites were separate species, with whites created superior. Darwin believed that the races belonged to the same human family, and slavery was therefore a sin.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Darwin, Charles, $d 1809-1882 $x Ethics. 600 10 $a Darwin, Charles, $d 1809-1882 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Human evolution $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Moral and ethical aspects. 600 12 $a Darwin, Charles, $d 1809-1882. 650 12 $a Evolution. 650 22 $a Hominidae. 650 22 $a Philosophy. 650 22 $a Prejudice. 650 22 $a Social Problems. 700 1 $a Moore, James R. $q (James Richard), $d 1947- 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0903/2008043482.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2008043482-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2008043482-d.html 941 $a 13 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011127.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722022436.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221041417.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824082528.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20150507012621.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619012007.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20101117011202.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100120073657.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20100301073843.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D80DBA4C6BFE11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IMVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
