Victorians were afraid of Darwinism because it challenged traditional views of creation and the role of humans in the universe, suggesting that humans evolved from simpler life forms rather than being created in their current form by God. This undermined the established religious beliefs that dominated Victorian society and raised fears about the moral implications of viewing humans as products of natural selection rather than divine intent. Additionally, Darwinism sparked concerns about social order and the potential justification for social Darwinism, which could be used to rationalize inequality and justify Imperialism.
