...alone that super Aryan, Adolf Hitler, could have had such ancestors. Editors of Nazi scientific papers announced that there was no room for the paleontologists' rubble heaps and old bones in the New Order. Science writers, feeling themselves full of cataclysmic creativeness, flexed their muscles in the Teuton's chronic, frantic urge to achieve Supermanliness. Perhaps the most effective argument against evolution was the heavy hint that advocacy of "neo-Darwinism" made a German politically suspect...
...huts a century from now, ancient Rumanian peasants will speak tragically of the things their fathers told them of the frightful year 1940.
