“There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.” ShouldReasonEnoughHumanityEvolutionProveEqualIntellectualCapacityUniversalFirmHeritageReservesAnticipateEqual Power Book:Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science Source: Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science
“In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.'

“In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races.

“I now believe that evolution, or deevolution, never ends short of death, that no society has ever achieved an absolute pinnacle, that all humans are not created equal. In fact, I believe attempts to create some abstract equalization create a morass of injustices that rebound on the equalizers.

“It may be quite true that some negroes are better than some white men; but no rational man, cognisant of the facts, believes that the average negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the average white man. And, if this be true, it is simply incredible that, when all his disabilities are removed, and our prognathous relative has a fair field and no favour, as well as no oppressor, he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites.” ThinkingMenBelieveStillsFactsAbleWhiteEvolutionEqualBiggerIncrediblesAverageSuperiorsRationalBitesContestsWhite ManRivalsCognizant Author:Thomas Huxley
