Silver is a tiny bit poison. Enough to kill bacteria.

So silverware was made to make eating a bit more sanitary, the silver killing off some of the bad bacteria.

Plus it was something only the wealthy could afford. Nobody with wealth wants to eat with the same instruments as the lower class people.

I have noticed my silverware turning darker after a dishwasher run. What is causing this?

There are a few possible causes. One cause that I find people frequently comment on is the detergent you use. Some of them are more harsh and may cause staining or discoloration. Sometimes it can be caused by the silverware not being dried soon enough. Another possible cause is other objects in you dishwasher adversely reacting with your silverware. If this is a new problem with the same home, same dishwasher, same silverware I would start with changing the detergent and/or rinsing agent.
