Darwin's evolutionary ideas have been of immense social and political significance, filtering into an amazing galaxy of ideologies and agendas. This book focuses upon Social Darwinism, analyzing the concept, exploring its social origins, showing how people metaphorically sat upon Darwin's coat-tails to further their own campaigns, justifying everything from capitalism to socialism, war to peace, race and empire to Nazi-style eugenics.

Darwin's Coat-Tails also sheds light on current challenges, from ethnic cleansing to genetic engineering.
