Nazi Germany is a clear example of the sufferings inflicted
on people when Social Darwinist ideas are put into practice.
Joseph L. Graves Jr., professor of evolutionary biology and
author of The Emperor's New Clothes, which criticizes racist theo-
ries, makes this comment:
The tragedy of Nazi Germany stands as the clearest example of
what can happen if eugenics, racial hierarchy, and Social
Darwinism are taken to their logical conclusions. 134
