<Darwinism is a scientific theory, not a social or moral one. One should not try to apply biology to politics.> Why not? People try to apply religion to politics. And certainly they try to apply history to politics. And what is evolutionary biology other than deep history? I think evolutionary biology can tell us a lot that might be relevant to some political issues. Like overpopulation; like over exploitation of natural resources; like the history of man's affect on the native plants and animals of a virgin country, like Hawaii, or America. I think those who believe that God made us all, and is looking out for us, and is telling us to have more and more babies, might have a different out look on some political issues than the those who believe that we are a unique animal, but still one that evolved on this earth, and are subject to the evolutionary forces still at work on all the living things on this world, including us.
