About This Quote

Charles Darwin, a 19th-century naturalist, scientist and explorer, gave the world a controversial view of human nature through his theory of evolution. Darwin’s statements on morality were perhaps the most shocking, as he saw that religion was nothing more than an elaborate hoax. He believed that morality was an evolutionary tool used to keep people in line with their own kind, and not the moral compass it is made out to be. He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals.
