Ideals about the evolution of Humans and beings, Herbert Spencer - Coggle…

- - - - He would state that the Africans Americans were the least evolved, while While Anglo-Saxons were the most evolved.
      - Following that ideal, he thought that the government should not help the poor, because it would interfere with "natural selection."
      - By doing so, Spencer's theory then justified social classes (not only in the UK, but everywhere around the world).
    - - Herbert Spencer's theory connects directly to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Spencer's theory, known as Social Darwinism, was basically a misinterpretation of what was stated in the Theory of Evolution. He misunderstood what Darwin meant by survival of the fittest, and eventually created a new theory that explained and justified social inequalities, with no scientific background.
      - Another connection that can be established with the ideas of Herbert Spence would be with Galton and his proposal of eugenics where similarly to Spencer, eugenics would think that specific minorities would have inferior capacity compared to the Anglo Saxons.
