It assumes that men have continually evolved, and thus some races are more evolved than others. It replaces [[Christian]] [[morality]] with the [[atheistic]] "survival of the fittest." An example of evolutionary racism is when an evolutionary racist put [[Ota Benga]] on display at the Bronx Zoo in the monkey house.<ref>httphttps://creation.com/ota-benga-the-pygmy-put-on-display-in-a-zoo</ref>

{{cquote|At some future period not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes...will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest Allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as the baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla.<ref name="DoM6">[httphttps://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext00/dscmn10.txt The Descent of Man], chapter VI</ref>}}

Likewise he compared native populations to animals: {{cquote|"The difference between a Tierra del Fuegian and a European is greater than between a Tierra del Fuegian and a beast."<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v16/i1/darwin.asp</ref>}}

Darwin's writings, which became very influential in the late 19th century, provided an argument for racism. Harvard University's staunch evolutionist [[Stephen Jay Gould]] stated, "Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory."<refname="icr.org">httphttps://www.icr.org/index.php?module=articles&action=view&ID=268</ref>

{{cquote|The Germans were the higher race, destined for a glorious evolutionary future. For this reason it was essential that the Jews should be segregated, otherwise mixed marriages would take place. Were this to happen, all nature’s efforts 'to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being may thus be rendered futile' (''Mein Kampf''). <refname="creationontheweb.com">http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1675</ref>}}

{{cquote|The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he, after all, is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development (Hoherentwicklung) of organic living beings would be unthinkable.<refname="icr.org">httphttps://www.icr.org/index.php?module=articles&action=view&ID=268</ref>}}

[[Josef Mengele]] (1911 - 1979) was a [[Germany|German]] [[physician]] and researcher who perpetrated the [[Holocaust]] in the [[Auschwitz]] death camp. Mengele had obtained a [[Ph.D.]] based on the study of [[racial]] differences in the anatomy of the jaw. He was one of the greatest supporters of [[Nazi]] theories of racial superiority with questionable research claims. Dr. Josef Mengele's [[evolution|evolutionary]] thinking was in accordance with [[Social Darwinism|social Darwinist]] theories that [[Adolph Hitler]] and a number of [[German]] academics found appealing.<refname="posner.com">http://www.posner.com/book1.htm</ref> Mengele studied under the leading proponents the "unworthy life" branch of evolutionary thought.<ref>http://www.name="posner.com"/book1.htm</ref> Mengele strongly supported the murder of the physically and mentally disabled. Dr. Mengele was one of the most notorious individuals associated with [[Nazi]] death camps and the [[Holocaust]].<refname="historylearningsite.co.uk">http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/joseph_mengele.htm</ref> Dr. Mengele obtained a an infamous reputation due to his experiments on twins while at [[Auschwitz]]-Birkenau.<ref>http://www.name="historylearningsite.co.uk"/joseph_mengele.htm</ref> He was known as the "Angel of Death."

He performed experiments on humans in the [[concentration camp]]s attempting to prove that disease was the product of [[racism|racial inferiority]] and in order to [[eugenics|genetically engineer]] a new species, which was the aim of his organization, the Frankfurt -based Institute of Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene. He amputated healthy limbs and performed other unusual operations on prisoners.

In addition, evolutionary racism was directed at [[Michelle Obama]].<ref>httphttps://creation.com/obama-racism-row</ref>
