Watch for the merging of human and animal in the decline and fall of any civilization, which is also a part of evolutionist ideology. What most evolutionists are after is the mere merging of all into a "great chain of being." These were the sorts of notions that were rationales for American slavery and the Hindu caste system.
Essentially, all evolutionists do is use anything that blurrs the animal kingdoms of mammalian, avian, reptilian and so on together. Pretty much anything will do, if flying fish exist then that picture shows up in the National Geographic as some sort of evidence. Evidence of what, one might ask? Just blurring in general....for it is not as if fish can turn to birds by mere random mutation and Nature's "selection." Selection is the imputation of intelligence to something. It seems to sneak in there somehow. It should be natural happenstance. So you would have a chance mutation being acted on by more natural happenstance.
The argument looks more like what a teenager says to their parents when they get in trouble, "I got her pregnant. It just happened."
Here is what just happened to happen in Rwanda, the end of civlization and a rise of animalization. People began calling another group of people cockroaches and merging the categories of human and animal. This happened while Bill Clinton used the definition of genocide to avoid the issue. For it all depends on what the definition of is, is....and what the defintion of genocide is. But that was his private life...or was it public? I guess that depends on what the definition of private, is.
The Tutsis were put in power by German imperialists based on some of the same ideas that later led to Nazism because they were closer to Europeans than Hutus. They believed that lighter skin, lighter hair, etc., is superior or desirable. It is a universal prejudice. Indians, Hindus, whoever, we all seem to have it. This plays a part in this story. These little things about humans, turn to big things.
So an ethnic caste system developed that remained in place after the colonialists left in the 1960s and resentment of the Tutsis by the Hutus grew, Hutus grew envious of the Tutsis.
Envy, it seems like a little thing too. Note, do not read this if you do not want to see the depth of Evil that lies in wait at the end of civilization. It's hard to believe that most of it was caused just by envy. Thou shall not covet....
"Gender hate propaganda was perhaps the most virulent component of the propaganda campaign. Propagandists portrayed Tutsi women as enemies of the state, used by Tutsi men to "infiltrate Hutu ranks."Propagandists claimed Tutsi women were more beautiful and desirable, but "inaccessible to Hutu men whom they allegedly looked down upon and were "too good for.'" This characterization led to what one Tutsi woman explained as an indescribable hate. As such, "rape served to shatter these images by humiliating, degrading, and ultimately destroying the Tutsi woman.[.......]
The militia worked in groups, taking Tutsi women from their homes or out of hiding and gang-raping them, often multiple times. Many of the women who survived an individual or gang rape were picked up by another group of Interahamwe and raped again. Furthermore, the military and civilian authorities - including regular soldiers, members of the national police force, members of the elite Presidential Guard, burgomasters, and heads of sectors - condoned and encouraged the sexual violence.
The militia commonly employed sexual mutilation and public humiliation to heighten the suffering of their victims. Some women and girls "were stripped and/or slashed and exposed to public mockery" while others"had pieces of trees branches pushed into their vagina."Moreover, the perpetrators tortured their victims by mutilating their genitals and cutting off their breasts and buttocks. [.....]
Thus, the gendered anti-Tutsi images and rhetoric that pervadedRwandan society through gender-based hate propaganda were translated into the systemic violation of Rwandan women during the genocide. The "indescribable hate" instigated through gender hate propaganda played out in a horrific pattern of sexual violence, the effects of which continue to be felt by its survivors."

It is the ideas of evolutionism that fit some of those actions. It is the ideas of evolutionism that fit the philosophy of Nazism and genocide. Life is a struggle for survival, survival of the "fittest," people are nothing more than animals, and there is a merging of the categories together with perverse results. For example, these type of evolutionist ideas and values become ingrained in the propaganda.
Animalization:
''When you kill the rat do not let the pregnant one escape.'' (Hutu propaganda)
"In Rwanda, things were even worse. During the 1994 genocide, tadio stations recited the names, addresses and vehicle numbersof prominent targets. They directed listeners to roadblocks wherethese "cockroaches" might be caught and killed. One announcer promised that this war would "exterminate the Tutsi from the globe."

"In pre-genocide Rwanda, hate propaganda taught that the minority Tutsis were outside human existence - that they were vermin and subhuman. They were called cockroaches and the hunting down and murder of Tutsis "and their Hutu accomplices" were described as communal work, necessary to "cleanse the country"."

There is the characteristic medicalization of politics in which all problems have a purely naturalistic "cure," including political problems. For the science and health of that. Exterminate the vermin, etc...
Evolutionism has nothing to say against Nazi type notions. Because it is a Nazi type notion. Philosophic naturalism leads to pseudo-scientific ideas that fit in quite well because they are at the root of Nazism.
Example,
"Our whole cultural life for decades has been more or less under the influence of biological thinking, as it was begun particularly around the middle of the last century, by the teachings of Darwin, Mendel, and Galton and afterwards has been advanced by the studies of Ploetz, Schallmeyer,Correns, de Vries, Tschermak, Baur, Riidin, Fischer,Lenz, and others. Though it took decades before the courage was found, on the basis of the initial findings ofthe natural sciences, to carry on a systematic study of heredity, the progress of the teaching and its applicationto man could not be delayed any more. It was recognizedthat the natural laws discovered for plants and animals ought also to be valid for man, and this could fully and completely be confirmed during the last three decades both through family research (Familienforschung) and through the study of bastards and twins."
(Max Weinreich, Hitler's Proffessors:
The Part of Scholarship in Germany's Crimes
against the Jewish People
(New York: The Yiddish Scientific Institute, 1946) :33)
It is "biological thinking" vs. thinking about biology. So you see there the spiritual monism of Nazism.
An abolitionist speaks against naturalism,
"Resolved, that believing as we do, that special legislation, regulated by complexion or any physical differences, is anti-Republican and anti-Christian, we shall ever be found using our best exertionsfor the supremacy of equal rights."

In contrast, it can be argued that American journalists are once again creating a pattern of evolutionistic propaganda and national socialism, i.e. Nazism. It's just hard to do with the Internet there, giving people an opportunity to make fun of them all the time. But still just last night Tom Brokaw ran a story on evolutionism with all the standard propaganda about "religion" and "science," etc. They seem to feel their way along using buzzwords that suit their pretentious arrogance. And that's about it for them.
