How do you base a political philosophy on the theory of evolution? That would be essentially the same as basing a policical philosophy on Bernoulli's principle or on Maxwell's equations.

I wouldn't know. I was agreeing with the poster's observation in saying that such a thing would have a nasty result --- IMHO, particularly in the area of human rights.
But I imagine a political philosophy based on Maxwell's equations would leave human rights in a quandary as well.
Easy. You take a little eugenics, a little racism, a little survival of the fittest and you have Nazism.
