how where the ideas of Darwin and Spencer adopted by Hitler or Nazi?
Answers
He used Darwin's theory of evolution and Spencer's survival of the fittest
Both the scientists believed that stronger species, which are better able to adapt themselves to their environment, had better chances of survival.
Hitler took this idea to support his pseudo - scientific model of supremacy of Aryans over other races.
Answer:
Darwin's explained the creation of plants and animals through the concept of of evolution and natural selection. Herbert Spencer added the idea of the survival of the fittest ---only those species survive which could adapt to changing climatic conditions. These ideas have been used by racist thinkers and politicians to justify empiral rule over conquered people. The Nazi argument was simple -- the strongest race would survive and the weak ones would perish.
The Aryan race was the finest and fittest to survive.
