It is well known that Charles Darwin was a hardened racist (I will document this with quotes below). But the common reaction today is that his racism was incidental to his scientific work; his ideas had a core of truth that doesn't rely on his racism, which was just a product of his times.
In this post I argue that not only was his racism core to his argument, in fact it was the basis of the entire argument. Remove the racism, and his entire argument falls apart.
