The greatest suffering will be experienced by those condemned to "elimination," and that suffering will
give rise to deep wounds in the consciences of others.
As the following pages will show, Social Darwinism sought, to apply to societies the theory of evolu-
tion—itself based on Charles Darwin's rather backward scientific understanding—but its world view is in
total conflict with human nature. When put into practice, it belittles humanity and drags it back towards
depression and chaos, bringing hatred that leads to conflict, warfare, and murder. Social Darwinism
reached its peak during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, but its adverse ef-
fects can still be seen in the present day. Under such names as "evolutionary psychology" and "genetic de-
terminism," attempts are still being made to evaluate societies according to the errors of Darwinism. In or-
der to protect the 21st century from further catastrophes, the dangers of Social Darwinism must be re-
vealed in all their aspects, and the world must be told that there is no scientific evidence for the theory on
which this philosophy is based.
Social Darwinist practices inflicted on humanity only hatred and anger, conflict, murder and war. If the suffering of the last
century is not to be repeated, and if this 21st century is to be one of peace, then people need to be made aware of
Darwinism's deceptions and dangers.
