	Description:		Was Darwin’s evolutionary theory inspired by his opposition to slavery? Explore the complex relationship between Darwin’s personal abhorrence of human slavery and his scientific observations of slave-making ants as natural selection in action. While born into a family of abolitionists, Darwin’s evolutionary works notably lack anti-slavery advocacy and even describe slavery in nature as “beneficial.” This examination challenges recent claims about Darwin’s motivations, revealing how his theories were later used to justify racial hierarchies rather than combat them. The author argues that contrary to popular portrayal, Darwin’s “sacred cause” wasn’t abolition—it was challenging the idea of divine creation.
