Interesting in that I have searched two different translation of Mein Kampf (Murphey translation and the Manhein translation) and the word evolution only appears once and it is in reference to “political” evolution.

I was using Murphy's translation. I found the word "evolution" 182 times. See my post which lists a couple of quotes in Murphy. I can email you a list of all paragraphs containing 'evolution' if you like - just pm me.

Instead of giving page #’s which will be different in every published volume can you give Chapter and paragraph so I can track down the translation of these quotes and why they are different?

I gave page number and paragraph number because I always linked to the pdf from which I was reading and from which I was deriving page numbers. This was significantly easier then counting hundreds of paragraphs after a chapter heading. And besides, I gave exact quotes so someone can just search for exact phrases if they want and it doesn't matter what chapter or page it is on. (It may be that your search program is broken or something, or maybe one of us is reading from a doctored version of Murphy's translation. I provided a link to the PDF I was reading from - what document were you searching for "evolution" in? I have no idea why you found only one occurance of the word "evolution" when there are so many in what I'm reading from.)

Most of the hits for “evolution” that I found (182 sounds correct) were actually the word “revolution”; which of course contains the word “evolution”.

The only example in the Manhein translation with the actual word “evolution” was in reference to Political rather than Biological evolution (the quote I provided).
