Evolution denial: from Darwin the Freemason to slanted eyes
Black people with blue eyes 15,000 years ago in England? The arguments of evolution denial that link Darwin to Freemasonry and dismiss natural selection.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The theory of evolution under the conspiracist microscope
That the first Britons were black with blue eyes, and that Chinese people have slanted eyes because of the steppe winds, are two of the arguments put forward to deny natural selection. But the attack goes further: science is branded an ideology and Darwin is accused of being a Freemason.
The critics' central argument is that evolution cannot explain traits such as skin pigmentation or eye shape through selective pressure. They question whether vitamin D deficiency after the advent of agriculture lightened skin, or whether cold winds shaped the eyelids over 50,000 years. Genetic drift and natural selection would, according to this school of thought, be fabricated narratives.
Science as an ideological cover story
The mantra is repeated that evolution is not science but ideology, equating it with alleged hoaxes such as vaccines or pandemics. It is pointed out that Charles Darwin, his father and his grandfather were Freemasons, which for the most conspiratorial would be enough to discredit the entire theory.
Proof or faith?
Against those who demand transitional fossils, the answer is that showing remains does not prove the mechanisms. The debate ends in a stalemate: for some, evolution is a dogma; for others, a proven truth. Meanwhile, skepticism keeps feeding on unanswered questions that official science cannot quite cover up.
