No one follows Darwin. His work formed a basis for some of the work that is current in evolutionary theory, but neither all of his work is included in current theory nor is current theory based exclusively on his work.

McAllister on the Front Porch Republic: "We are told to be careful with our words, to be aware of how our words might make other people feel or of how we might be misunderstood. However important is this advice (and it is both important and grossly overused), these are not the primary reasons we should be thoughtful about our language. Words shape ideas and beliefs, they assist in the mapping, and even reshaping, of our conceptual terrain. Linguistic mistakes lead to corrupted thinking. Because language is social, we are responsible for the way our words work on others. We should indeed be careful with our words." http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/?p=7529 From: “Citizens of the World, Divide” by Ted V. McAllister on the Front Porch Republic:
