Detailed Solution

Herbert Spencer propounded the theory of the 'survival of the fittest.' Hitler's racism was influenced by academics such as Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Darwin was a natural scientist who used the concepts of evolution and natural selection to explain the origins of plants and animals. Herbert Spencer later added the concept of survival of the fittest. According to this theory, only organisms that could adapt to changing circumstances survived on Earth. Racist intellectuals and politicians utilized this theory to justify domination over other groups of people. Hilter also used this theory, according to whom the strongest race would survive while the weak would perish. To the Nazis, the Aryan race was superior and needed to keep its purity to take over the world.
