Based on Carroll’s theory (1900) that blacks are a pre-Adamic “beast” creation.
iii, 21: The Bible is an “impregnable bulwark” against the notion that all men are related; science “demonstrates conclusively that Negroes and the white race do not have a common ancestry.” Evolution, which postulates man’s descent from the ape, “is not only irrational and unscientific; it is completely unscriptural.” God created Negroes as “beasts of the field” to serve the Adamic race. The Bible commands death for miscegenation—”lying with beasts.”
