Eugenics do not require the theory of evolution to work. Indeed, one can be a creationist and still believe other people are not humans. It was believed that black people did not have a soul and therefore it was ok to enslave them. This idea was very popular with slave owners for some reason.

:unsure: When? I know I doze off a bit now and then these days but I missed that. I can think of any number of wars over resources, political ideology, religion, empire and even personal vanity but when the feck did the wars of evolution take place?

Oh yes, the evolution wars. Really harsh they were.

At least no religious people made trouble for anyone believing in it or owt.

There's probably been a few other deaths due to evolution as well, I reckon, survival of the fittest and all of that. And that's well wrong. I'm pretty sure the chap above has been able to dodge evolution for quite some time, though.

true but not everyone believes the same way things work. Evolution isnt set in stone because there are many variations to how its supposed to work.
And its still hard to believe from watching the news form time to time that some people even have a soul, black or white or any color for that matter.

Evolution is a scientific framework that explains how species develop. There are a number of models of that theory that work with the evidence to hand. As more and more evidence is gathered it becomes more detailed and grows. It is not like a religion which tend to come complete and pre-packaged. Religions frown upon people adding things to them or changing them whereas science is continually adding to its body of knowledge.

Because evolution conflicts with some of a religious persuasion (although not all) there seems to be some requirement weighed upon evolution as a work in progress that is not placed on other scientific research - say medicine or the exploration of the surface of Mars.
