Darwin's book /The Origin of Species by Natural Selection/ had as its
subtitle /The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life/.
Modern apologists for Darwin stress that he had had reference mainly to
animal "races," or subspecies, but there is really no doubt that he
meant it to include human races as well. In his later book, /The Descent
of Man/, Darwin wrote:

      At some future period, not very distant as measured by
      centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly
      exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the
      world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes... will no
      doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest
      allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man
      in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the
      Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as
      now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.[fn]
