Darwin wrote, 'At some future period ... the civilised races of man
will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage
races. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be
exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene
between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope that the caucasian and
some ape as low as a baboon, instead of, as at present, between the negro or
Australian and the gorilla.'
Little wonder that Darwinism was so
popular with the Nazis - is it?
