# Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file

Date: 1871

## The fact

In 1871 Descent's sexual-selection chapters stated claims on male-female mental differences as [Darwin](/people/charles-darwin)'s public prose. The instrument is that gender file, not the race-ranking cluster as a duplicate and not a later statute. Charles Darwin's documented role is: He wrote those chapters. Later feminist and scientific rebuttals are reception.

## Context

The race-ranking row is the inequality twin of the same book. This is the gender sign. Sharing unnamed correspondents on marriage and intellect is required. The setting of Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file is the public file around 1871-06-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [protection-of-minority-rights](/drivers/protection-of-minority-rights) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Significance

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. Public claims of innate mental inferiority of women are a minority-rights path of medium weight inside a scientific book. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not twin as a second full Descent. Sign lives on the path. Mixed effects of Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file are separate paths.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file under 1871-06-01 for Charles Darwin. Established: a sourced public record of Descent's sexual-selection chapters state dated claims on male-female mental differences as a public gender file under 1871-06-01.

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.

The attached driver is protection-of-minority-rights. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
