Darwin's Sacred Cause: How a Hatred of Slavery Shaped Darwin's Views on Human Evolution

I think this book is innovative and will make me go into "the deep hole", the profound and true idea underlying Darwin's theory. The short summary of this book is interesting. Did Darwin want to resist the system of slavery by writing "the origin of species"?  Hmmmmm~... I want to use this book for my paper.

Anyway, I have to buy and read it as soon as possible!

On the Mark of Thinking about "Issues of Race"

     We are going to pursue the meanings of those sentenses: "Race does not exist.", "Race has meaning.", Race is not who you are but what you are.", which were seen in the last Friday's class. We dessicused race and racism yesterday. It is difficult to take this theme, and there may not be some clear answers of those sentenses. Simultaneously, however, it is significant one because we can think about race deeply and may find issues underlying this concept.
