Abstract
⺠Darwin provided a great deal of evidence for sexual selection in nonhumans. ⺠Much of that evidence was lacking for humans, and human cases differed from nonhuman. ⺠Darwin's argument for the origin of human races was (atypically) poor. ⺠Explaining race does not appear to be his main reason for taking up sexual selection. ⺠Darwin's reasons for discussing sexual selection in the Descent of Man are unclear.
