Charles Darwin uses the word "Races" in his book titled, "The Origin of Species door means of Natural Selection of The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" 1859. The word "race" as applied to groups of people is never used in the King James Bible. In the book of Genesis, we see a different historical perspective. We are all descended from Adam and Eve and from Noah and his wife. Consequently, we are all cousins. Think what the world would be like if everyone realized that and acted accordingly! Actually there is only one race, "the human race" that all started "in the beginning" with Adam and Eve.
Today the word "race" has come to mean a group of people with distinguishing physical characteristics such as skin color, shape of eyes, and type of hair. This new meaning arose with the growing acceptance of evolutionism in the late 1800s.
For the past 160 years, evolutionists have painted a very different picture. Man supposedly ascended from some apelike ancestor. According to the theory, some early humans branched off sooner than others, they had different physical, mental, and behavioral characteristics. This is "racism", a highly prejudicial school of thought that dehumanizes fellow human beings.
