The Darwin Effect
Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, an imprisoned doctor in the Auschwitz camp, wrote that Nazi doctors hoped studying twins would solve the problem of faster reproduction of superior races. Nazis hoped to have each German mother bear as many twins as possible. What Darwin influenced went far beyond the Nazi death This book is the result of 30 years of research and study carefully documenting the common destructive threads that tie some of history’s most murderous dictators, uncaring capitalists, and aggressive social activists to the flawed concepts of Charles Darwin in an effort to change the world - and how they succeeded. The extermination of races considered “lower” than others, the profound lack of empathy for less-advanced cultures, the corrupted atheistic justifications for taking the lives of millions - all done to advance the agendas of social Darwinism at work in the world today. More than mere theoretical discussions, we have seen the horrifying evidence of the practical results when applying these destructive and misleading concepts to society in the last 100 years!

This is an incredibly eye-opening book about the far-reaching effects of Darwinism in our culture and world.
The author writes from a research and review approach, citing sources after each chapter topic on the enormous influence of Darwin's writings on biological racism, eugenics, the Tasmanian genocide, eugenics in America, impact on the beliefs of the Ku Klux Klan, circus and sideshow exploitation of deformed and diseased people as "missing links", the inferiority of females, influence in ruthless capitalism, inspiration for the communist holocaust, tragic results in criminology theory, subjective psychology, abortion, and the 20th-century totalitarianism holocaust.
The author does an excellent job including many quotes and examples from the mouths of Darwinists themselves. It was also interesting to see how our generation is directly impacted by several generations indoctrinated by Darwinism in the public schools and secular colleges and universities.
I would clarify that science is vitally important in education, but the problem is when the authority figures in science withhold information, ignore evidence, or create ways to explain the facts away in order to promote a lie for the sake of eliminating God. Many lesser-known but still credible scientists opposed Darwinism from the outset for its propaganda and unscientific approach, but were silenced because their approach was unpopular.

The Darwin Effect
A good book to pair with this reading might be - Bones Of Contention, Marvin L. Lubenow
Jerry Bergman's book is an important read in understanding the development of evolution over the years since Charles Darwin's The Origin Of Species by Means Of Natural Selection Or The Preservation Of Favoured Races In The Struggle For Life. Through the constant and repetitive use of quotes from contemporary sources to substantiate his claims, it is understood that the purpose is to drill in to the reader that the progression within contemporary evolutionary thought naturally led to the extremes of racism, sexism, eugenics and Nazism, in an effort to "use their words against them".
The certain consequences of which may today be obvious. However, the author also details examples from Ota Benga's life; the attitudes of Margaret Sanger and her "Negro Project" alongside H.G. Wells; Francis Galton's experiments in his eugenics movement; and Dr. Mengele's medical experiments on the Jews in the Auschwitz camp.

A detailed look at the history of eugenics, racism, sexism etc. and the impact Darwinism has had (including death tolls) on social and political narratives attached to the ideas. Whilst there is clear religious influence which might be seen to bias the writer's perspective against Darwinism & Evolution, the wealth of direct quotes and historical facts help un-deify Darwin and contextualize his ideas within the real world, demonstrating the damaging foundations many aspects of Darwin's theory were built upon and how they have been used - by logical extension - to rationalise atrocities.

The book lacks a clear structure.
It just jumps around from one thing to another:
"look at this racist thing from 1940; now look at this one form 1878; now again at this one form 1935 and let us not forget this one from 1980"
It seems more like a book of racists attitudes and events in no clear order.

A very interesting work, Bergman provides eye-opening and thought provoking analysis of Darwin's influence on the worst aspects of the 20th century. It appears to me, as a reader, that each chapter is written as a standalone, which may be why some have criticized this book as redundant and unstructured
