==Genocide==

Many genocides have been commited in the name of Eugenics, most notably [[the Holocaust]]. Adolf Hitler was a strong believer in eugenics and evolution and believed that Jewish people were closest to apes, followed by Africans, Asians, non-Aryan Europeans, and finally Aryans, who he believed were most evolved.
