his preservation of favoured races theory
Darwin's theory of evolution dealt with SPECIES, not RACE.
Darwin didn't have a favoured species theory either. Natural selection works on the individual within a species. The genes of "fitter" individuals become more widespread hence, over time, changing the characteristics of the species.
Of course, "Survival of the fittest." is a circular definition since the only measure of fitness is survival.
