Old title was 'Origins'[edit source]

The old title of this page was 'Origins', but the story of the origins of the Noongar people is told in the page 'Wp/nys/Nyitting (Dreaming or Cold Time)' which differs from what is written here. A redirect to Wp/nys/Nyitting (Dreaming or Cold Time)' was put in place for 'Origins', effectively deleting the content, but the 'Origins' talk page was used to store the old content. A new title 'Scientific ideas on human evolution' better reflects the subject matter and hopefully the saved content can find a home under the new title. The 'Origins' redirect and talk page was later deleted. The old content was saved here on the user page User:Aarghdvaark/copy.

The title 'Origins' was a play on Charles Darwin's theory and book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection". But Darwin's theories have been misused to support Social Darwinism, which despite the name is nothing to do with Charles Darwin's theory "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" but rather supports laissez-faire capitalism and colonialism. Social Darwinism, as discussed in the content page here and in the page 'Wp/nys/Wadjela#Terra Nullius', was used to justify colonialism and is a repugnant idea. The title 'Origins' coupled with scientific theories of the evolution of people may have stirred memories of the discredited idea of Social Darwinism, so I changed it.
