But this solves my curiosity then, darwinian views of race developed to accomodate for the moral cognitive dissonance people faced after centuries of slavery and colonialism. But colonialism in africa wad not popular until after darwin.
Keep in mind, while I don't accept his views of evolution, I am specifically talking about people taking that and considering africans and other non-whites as less evolved species that need to be unsavaged.
I did not absolve people of faith either, but missionairies for example Used the cause of conversion, but the faith does not allow for non-human conversion and it would be heresy to claim any human was not a descendant of both adam and noah.
It was partly or mainly for this reason why the underground railroad and other "racial" equality and anti-slavery movements up until the 1960s were all faith based movements. While the white supremacists considered anyone with 1/8th black in them inferior and less evolved (and they also do try to shim that darwinian view into protestanism)
