With impeccable documentation, Weikart demonstrates that many leading Darwinian biologists and social thinkers of the pre-Hitler era believed -- and celebrated the fact -- that Darwinism overturned traditional Christian ethics, especially those pertaining to the sacredness of human life.

That's a fact. Evolution is the perfect philosophical basis for being an asshole.

Perhaps. However, do you blame the theory of gravity when someone pushes another person out a window?

Actually, Evolution encourages survival of the fittest and since groups are always more powerful than individuals the most "fit" are those who are good at getting along with and forming groups. Not exactly asshole country.
