Detailed Solution

The idea of survival of the fittest was supported by Hitler. Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer were natural scientists. Darwin formulated the theory of evolution, which Herbert extended with the theory of the survival of the fittest. According to these theories, in the evolution process, only those species would survive that could adapt themselves to changing conditions. This theory was supported and exploited by Hilter to justify his Nazism. He propounded through survival of the fittest that only intense races would survive. He believed that the Aryan race was strong and that Jews were the weaker ones. Aryans were solid and fit to dominate the world, and the Jews had no right to live.
