When Darwin arrived in Tierra del Fuego and anchored in the Bay of Good Success, he described the place as a "savage land" and referred to the Fuegians as "savages". He said, "I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilized man; it is greater than a wild and domesticated animal..." As early as the 1800s, Darwin's statement about the Fuegians as savage people reflected the belief of that time that darker colored people were less civilized and inferior to white people. With the rise of social Darwinism and its belief of "survival of the fittest", it made the issue of racism worse by allowing many societies to believe that only the white society is the true society. Darwin may have been against slavery but in his study of evolution he said that there existed "primitive races" which evolved between the "civilized" races of man and gorilla.

Social Darwinism is the belief that the strongest and fittest survive in the society, while the weak and unfit should be allowed to die. Social Darwinism does not really follow Darwinian’s thinking in any way and is therefore different from Darwinism.

I agree because Eugenics is the theory that humans can influence their own evolution through selective breeding or genetic enhancement. It encourages the procreation of the fittest in social Darwinism and discourages that of the unfit. On the other hand, Darwin’s theory of evolution taught that species did change as a result of natural selection, and it was well known that by artificial selection a farmer could obtain permanent breeds of plants and animals strong in particular characteristics.
