Although I would word it slightly differently, that second one is historically significant. Evopushers are always trying to distance Darwin from Häckel's frauds, but they lie, relying upon people's ignorance. The concluding chapter to "Descent of Man" firmly establishes the link.

There is a great deal of misinformation published and repeated about Darwin's beliefs. The second chapter of this book is an amazing encapsulation, and the majority of false claims regarding Darwin can be debunked by consulting it. It really is "Darwinism in a nutshell".
