Darwin didn't know about genes

Darwin was exposed to Mendel's work --THE Mendel, the
guy who worked out inheritance -- and he was exposed
to it BEFORE he completed his "Pangenesis" vomit.

but then his book was published before
Mendel

Again, "Pangenesis."
Mendel worked it all out, Darwin was exposed to it AND
THEN Darwin came out with the "Pangenesis" bullshit.

As for rejecting
evolution, well the last line in 'The Origin of Species' is:

Omg. I'll repeat it:
Stalin. Mao. They banned evolution. They saw is as Capitalist
propaganda -- justification for everything from racism into
classism and onto economic exploitation. So they banned
evolution. And what they put in it's place was Darwin's ideas,
what Darwin believed it.
Yes, you're right, Darwin was a raging idiot who had no clue
what he meant, much less what he was talking about. That was
already established.
