Darwin's notion of struggle for survival … jus-
                       tified the racists' conception of superior and in-
                       ferior peoples and nations and validated the

                       conflict between them.   85
                       Evolutionist scientists painted just the

                  kind of theoretical picture the Nazis desired.
                  For example, the evolutionist Konrad
                  Lorenz, regarded as the founder of modern

                  ethology (the science of animal behavior),
                  compared the improvement of races with
                  biological structures:

                       Just as in cancer the best treatment is to eradi-
                       cate the parasitic growth as quickly as possi-

                       ble, the eugenic defense against the dysgenic
                       social effects of afflicted subpopulations is of
                       necessity… When these inferior elements are
                       not effectively eliminated from a [healthy]

                       population, then - just as when the cells of a
                       malignant tumor are allowed to proliferate
                       throughout the human body - they destroy the
                       host body as well as themselves.    86
