520    There is a mystery surrounding Darwin: How did this quiet,
       respectable gentleman, a pillar of his parish, come to 
       embrace one of the most radical ideas in the history of 
       human thought? Darwin risked a great deal in publishing 
       his theory of evolution, so something very powerful--a 
       moral fire--must have propelled him. That moral fire, 
       argue authors Desmond and Moore, was a passionate hatred 
       of slavery. They draw on a wealth of fresh manuscripts, 
       correspondence, notebooks, diaries, and even ships' logs 
       to show how Darwin's abolitionism had deep roots in his 
       mother's family and was reinforced by his voyage on the 
       Beagle as well as by events in America. Leading apologists
       for slavery in Darwin's time argued that blacks and whites
       were separate species, with whites created superior. 
       Darwin believed that the races belonged to the same human 
       family, and slavery was therefore a sin.--From publisher 
       description.
