Darwin's evolutionary ideas have been of immense social and
political significance, filtering into an amazing galaxy of
ideologies and agendas. This book focuses upon Social Darwinism,
analyzing the concept, exploring its social origins, showing how
people metaphorically sat upon Darwin's « coat-tails to further
their own campaigns, justifying everything from capitalism to
socialism, war to peace, race and empire to Nazi-style eugenics.
These reflective essays showcase the author's many years of
Darwinian research and cover the period from 1859 to World War II
(mainly in the British arena). Darwin's Coat-Tails also sheds light
on current challenges, from « ethnic cleansing to genetic
engineering.
