racial superiority

Racial Superiority is displayed in the European imperialism in asia and africa. This is found that the European people are utterly greater and more civilized than asian or african citizens. Like Charles Darwin's study. He observed that there are the same species of animals on different islands, but have noticeable differences. He found in Galapagos, that there were finches, a type of bird, with different type of beaks. Birds used their beaks to acquire food. It led him to discover that species developed over time to fit their way of life in surviving and getting their food.
