misquoting Darwin

Quote:

“If … various checks … do not prevent the reckless, the vicious and otherwise inferior members of society from increasing at a quicker rate than the better class of men, the nation will retrograde, as has occurred too often in the history of the world. We must remember that progress is no invariable rule.”

Now the actual quote goes: "If the various checks specified in the last two paragraphs do not..."
This is bad quote mining. As they don't even mention these checks.
