I agree because epigenetics can be compared to Darwin's concepts because he involved them in his research and stated facts about evolution.

I agree because she stated the fact that Darwin's concepts contributed to eugenics. They involved the study of hereditary improvements of the human race which Darwin covered in most of his own research.

I agree because they both involve the evolution, but they have their different titles which both mean different things. Darwinism represents the evolution, and social Darwinism is the survival part of the ones who fit.

They both have something to do with traits and the physical traits of things, but they are different because social Darwinism is the decision that people make to become a part of believing what Darwin had suggested.

I agree because Darwin only believed that the strong survived, and eugenics are basically the surviving materials that species have. Species are born with special materials that provide them with their own survival, and some are weaker than others which is what Darwin talks about.

Social Darwinism has been used to justify eugenics programs aimed at weeding "undesirable" genes from the population; such programs were sometimes accompanied by sterilization laws directed against "unfit" individuals. The American eugenics movement was relatively popular between about 1910-1930, during which 24 states passed sterilization laws and Congress passed a law restricting immigration from certain areas deemed to be unfit. Social Darwinist ideas, though in different forms, were also applied by the Nazi party in Germany to justify their eugenics programs.

Charles Darwin, an English naturalist lived from 1809 to 1882. It was a time of slavery and mistreatment of colored people and people of “minority”. Seeing colored people didn’t bother him as much, but what did bother him was the fact that not everyone looked at his concepts the way he did. He believed that there was natural selection being made, and only the strong can survive. He didn’t look at the colored people as the “strong” and believed they wouldn’t survive as long as other people would. He didn’t care about how the people were treated or thought of a way to stop the treatment, all he cared about was how the evolution worked out in his researches and used their skin color for research to see if they were less evolved. Even though he didn’t agree with the treatment, but didn’t stop it, he was still considering the people of color less evolved than him and said that it was normal for people who are less evolved to be treated bad and differently because only the “strong” survives. These concepts were influencing Darwin because he could have been a better researcher and not have been wrong the whole time, if he didn’t believe that everything that comes out his own mouth is right, and no one else’s. The people who influenced Darwin were Alexander von Humboldt, John Herschel and

Charles Lyell. The people who Darwin had influenced were Joseph Dalton Hooker,

Thomas Henry Huxley, George Romanes and Ernst Haeckel.
