Higher Levels of Racism and Prejudice Associated with a Disbelief in Human Evolution
Homo erectus pekinensis |
According to University of Massachusetts Amherst research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, a disbelief in human evolutionary biology in the US was associated with higher levels of racism and prejudice including support for discriminatory behavior against immigrants, people of African ancestry, and the LGBTQ community. Similar patterns of racism and prejudice have also been associated with lack of belief in human evolution by individuals living in Europe and in the Middle East.
