I wonder how he accommodated that to the Fuegian whom they took back to 
England, taught him to be a Perfect English Gentleman, and them dumped him back 
on the Terra in his double-breasted suit to civilize his relatives.   I don’t 
know about “woke” and “presentist”, but it’s; true, the Victorians have a lot 
to answer for.

The "woke" "presentists" are coming after Darwin:

 

"Despite his notional belief in abolition, Darwin believed whites were more 
evolved than “savage races,” whom they would—as an unfolding of natural 
selection—“exterminate and replace.” Oh, and he was a eugenicist: in The 
Descent of Man, he muses that it would be best to simply let the weak die."
