"(Haeckel's)evolutionary racism, his call to the German people for racial purity and unflinching devotion to "just" state; his belief that harsh, inexorable laws of evolution
ruled human civilization and nature alike, conferring upon favored races the right to dominate others..."
Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977)

註： Haeckel是納粹人種學的師爺。以上摘自哈佛著名進化論學者 史蒂芬古德教授(已故)。顯然在這方面，他比絕大多數的進化論者這要誠實，能夠做到就事論事。因為他深信這本身並不表明進化論是錯的。
