:At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked,* will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.

Darwin was not the first to claim racial superiority.  But he was the first to suggest that some races of man "will almost certainly exterminate, and replace" other races of man.  His followers developed a new intellectual field called "eugenics" for this mythical biological struggle.

Darwin was not the first to claim racial superiority.  But he was the first to suggest that some races of man "will almost certainly exterminate, and replace" other races of man.  Although Darwin never advocated this action, and instead decried it, those that took the idea to its extreme developed a new intellectual field called "eugenics" for this mythical biological struggle.

In fact, the term "Eugenics" was coined by Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton.
