基本説明

(the book) timed to coincide with Darwin's 200th birthday, makes the case that his epochal achievement in Victorian England can best be understood in relation to events — involving neither tortoises nor finches — on the other side of the Atlantic...confronts the touchy subject of Darwin and race head on; both conclude that Darwin, despite the pernicious spread of "social Darwinism" (the notion, popularized by Herbert Spencer, that human society progresses through the "survival of the fittest"), was no racist.
