Yes, what evolution? Look at this example SHUNNING and CLASSISM from the mid 1500s. We are still doing this today. He was born Juan de Yepes y Álvarez[3] into a converso family (descendents of Muslim or Jewish converts to Christianity) in Fontiveros, near Ávila, a town of around 2,000 people.[4][5] His father, Gonzalo, was an accountant to richer relatives who were silk merchants. However, when in 1529 he married Johns mother, Catalina, who was an orphan of a lower class, Gonzalo was rejected by his family and forced to work with his wife as a weaver.[6] Johns father died in 1545, while John was still only around seven years old.[7] Two years later, Johns older brother Luis died, probably as a result of insufficient nourishment caused by the penury to which Johns family had been reduced. After this, Johns mother Catalina took John and his surviving brother Francisco, and moved first in 1548 to Arévalo, and then in 1551 to Medina del Campo, where she was able to find work weaving.[8][9]
