sions. For example, in The Descent of Man, Darwin claimed that
certain races, such as blacks and Aborigines, were inferior and

that in due course, they would be eliminated and disappear in
the struggle for survival:
At some future period not very distant as measured by centuries,
the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and
replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time
the anthropomorphous apes… will no doubt be exterminated.
The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider,
for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we
may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as the
baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and
the gorilla. 46
In those words Darwin equated certain races with primates
and predicted that “civilized races of man” would eliminate
“savage races” from the face of the Earth. In other words,
Darwin was foreseeing genocide, a racial ethnic cleansing to
take place in the near future. Indeed, Darwin's disastrous “pre-
dictions” actually did come about, and 20th-century racists saw
the theory of evolution as offering them support to perpetrate
terrible slaughter. Examples include the Nazis' murder of some

40 million people during the World War II, the South African
government's apartheid system affording European races im-
mense privileges over others, racist attacks against Turks and
other foreigners in Europe, racial discrimination against blacks
in the USA and against the native Aborigines in Australia, and
the neo-Nazi movement that from time to time raises its head in
various European countries. All gained strength from the al-
leged scientific support provided by Darwinism. (For further

Darwinism, see Harun Yahya's Fascism: The Bloody Ideology of
Darwinism, Kultur Publishing, April 2002.)
