But Haeckel started in right with the publication of Origin in 1859. How can you be an earlier Darwinist than that? He was way before Sanger.

I should have settled for Lindy. :)

When did he write "Monism"? Anyway, don't know why I wrote H. et. al. when it was the et. al. I was getting at. Those Nazis directly responsible for applying Social Darwinism and eugenics to society built the justification for it on the whole body of work. This included the recent and the American as well as German.

Let's not forget that Sanger and some of her buddies got official recognition and commendation from the real live Nazi in Germany --- for contributions to the fields of eugenics and racialist "science".

On second thought, let's choose to forget it. If we do, our team will have a pristine past.
