2004: From Darwin to Hitler

Discovery Institute Senior Fellow and California State University historian Richard Weikart publishes From Darwin to Hitler, which documented the impact of Social Darwinism in the years leading up to World War I. “Richard Weikart’s outstanding book shows in sober and convincing detail how Darwinist thinkers in Germany had developed an amoral attitude to human society by the time of the First World War.”—Richard Evans, Professor of Modern History, University of Cambridge.
