First this is not a debate about scientific evolution. So dont go there. Go away.
I am curious about that fallacy of objectivity that some say science holds! There is zero here and to be honest its a view Donald Trump would embrace. Why do we develop that idea science is objective? Based on scientific emperical evidence otherwise? .
"Darwin conceived of people with mental retardation as evolutionary mistakes. He speculated
that mental retardation resulted from reversions in the developmental process. From his
perspective persons with mental retardation displayed the characteristics of other species and
what he considered to be inferior races of human beings. They had reverted to these life forms
even though they were born to parents of a superior level of evolutionary development. For
reasons that were not clear to him, something had caused an error in reproduction that resulted in
an individual who looked and behaved like a member of an inferior species.
A similar concept was developed by J. Langdon Down in his theory of the racial nature of
mental retardation. Darwin's influence is very evident in Down's observations on what was to
become known as Down syndrome and that he termed mongolian idiocy. In his "Observations on
an Ethnic Classification of Idiots,"
