Fascists believed only in brute force, that there was a constant "fight for survival" between races and nations, and that shedding blood was a sacred duty. They caused the death of tens of millions of people.At the root of this violent ideology lay a theory that presented man as a "species of animal," and maintained ... Read more

Evolution

by James A. S. Watson ...

The idea of Evolution is an old one. It is older than the Darwinian hypothesis; it is older than Lamarck, who published his particular theory in 1809, the year that Darwin was born; it is older than Buffon or Kant. In a fairly definite form it is as old as Aristotle. The Evolution idea has thus itself evolved, and is the product of many centuries of thought. Yet it was only the last generation ... Read more

Selfish Genes to Social Beings

A Cooperative History of Life
