Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file
In 1871 Descent's sexual-selection chapters stated claims on male-female mental differences as Darwin's public prose. The instrument is that gender file, not the race-ranking cluster as a duplicate and not a later statute. In the causal graph this event weakens Protection of Minority Rights, a driver that strengthens Having a say in government — a worsening welfare path.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
Why it matters
Worsening path from Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file on 1871-06-01. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Shared responsibility is part of Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file. Naming Charles Darwin does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1871-06-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
