Reality is not something that can be explained only by human science in his actual state....If you think so, you dont know what reality is.... Think again.... :)
And by the way evolution and Darwinian evolution theory are not exactly the same thing...Goethe for example was an evolutionist before Darwin ....His discovery of the intermaxillary bone convinced him that apes and human has a common unknown ancestor.... His research in plant biology and morphology gives him a theory of evolution in plants changes also....His view of evolution are not Darwinian but they were very deep....
Reality complexities are not exorcised by argument like: a stone falling is a fact and gravitation theory explain it...Fact and theory are 2 sides of the same coin....Reality is a coin with only one side....
Accusing Darwin to be racist has not much sense in the era in which he lived where most people were...Asking why racism exist at these times makes more sense....But answering that implicate the history of human consciousness....
Humans are apes, the ignorance here is astounding.
We are not apes, it is a choice to be one or not at our level of existence.... And anyway all living creatures are conscious....Then somewhere are ultimately equals....
Ignorance is not bigger here than anywhere for someone who read books and is unable to read most newspapers ...

djones, you make a good argument (example) that man indeed evolved from apes.
This affirmation is already a simplistic deformation of the evolution concept, in a bad interpretation and a reductionist one of the Darwinian theory....
Man does not evolved from apes....Apes like we know them now did not exist at all a million year ago or more....A million year ago "something" which was neither modern human nor apes like we know them now separate itself in 2 different evolutionary current : human and apes....
The "fact" that human comes from apes was the newspaper "truth" version of Darwinian theory against Bible fundamentalist....And this is absolutely not a fact in reality and not even in Darwinian theory....
Reality dont care about newspapers....People do....
