From Darwin to Hitler
''From Darwin to Hitler: evolutionary ethics, eugenics, and racism in Germany'' is a 2004 book by Richard Weikart, a historian at California State University, Stanislaus, and a senior fellow for the Center for Science and Culture of the Discovery Institute. The work is controversial.〔For example, Peter Bowler described it as "Richard Weikart's controversial book ''From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany''" in 〕 Graeme Gooday, John M. Lynch, Kenneth G. Wilson, and Constance K. Barsky wrote that "numerous reviews have accused Weikart of selectively viewing his rich primary material, ignoring political, social, psychological, and economic factors" that helped shape Nazi eugenics and racism.〔Graeme Gooday, John M. Lynch, Kenneth G. Wilson, and Constance K. Barsky 〕
==Background and summary==
The Discovery Institute, the hub of the intelligent design movement, "provided crucial funding" for the book's research.〔"Many thanks also to the Center for Science and Culture (especially Jay Richards and Steve Meyer), which provided crucial funding and much encouragement..." ''From Darwin to Hitler'', Richard Weikart, page x〕 The Institute operates DarwinToHitler.com, which promotes the book and intelligent design. Prominent historian and critic of the intelligent design movement, Barbara Forest, states that the book is tied to the DI's 'wedge strategy' of attacking Darwinian science as morally corrupting.〔Barbara Forrest and Paul R. Gross. ''Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design''. 2004, page 206〕 This strategy aims to "defeat () materialist world view" represented by the theory of evolution in favor of "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions."
Weikart has appeared in creationist films promoting the book. In 2006, Weikart appeared in Coral Ridge Ministries' creationist film ''Darwin's Deadly Legacy'' in which Weikart claims "Darwinian ideology is the core" of Nazism and D. James Kennedy concludes: "To put it simply, no Darwin, no Hitler." In 2008, Weikart, a supporter of intelligent design, also appeared in ''Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed'', a pro-intelligent design movie, which among other claims, strongly implies that Charles Darwin's ideas led to Adolf Hitler's atrocities. Bret Carroll, Weikart's colleague in the Stanislaus history department, wrote: "That 'intelligent design' is not a scientific theory" and the ''Expelled'' movie "misuses Weikart's research by mistakenly implying that Darwin led inevitably to Hitler. In fact, scientific theories, even those like Darwin's that address organic life, are morally neutral." Other creationist organizations, like Creation Ministries International cite Weikart's work claiming it shows "extensive documentation of the Darwin–Hitler link."
In the conclusion of ''From Darwin to Hitler'', Weikart writes:
