Dear friends, happy days, Tamer Kaya
#5minEvolution. Our topic today is the
bad interpretation of evolution; subject
of eugenics. Humanity has often faced
situations where many fields of science
are used for the benefit of
people and used for malicious purposes.
The subject of eugenics is one of the
subjects that can be called a
black mark for humanity.
We know that there were thoughts about
eugenics even before Darwin developed his
theory of evolution for the first time. Plato
theoretically put forward this idea, and it is
known that Spartans and Romans had a
tendency to weed out weak individuals in
their childhood.
Before Darwin, the demographer and priest
Thomas Malthus said that the population had
grown incredibly exponentially, but the food
resources did not increase sufficiently,
and he believed that the population
should be eliminated
because it was an
unnecessary burden.
This book, written by Malthus,
helped Darwin and Wallace, who
carried out the theory of evolution
together with Darwin, in developing
their theories.
But neither Darwin nor Wallace, of
course, agreed with the idea
Malthus put forward here. After
Darwin developed his theory, a
group of evolutionists in his day
thought that the Theory of
Evolution was a real justification for eugenics.
Among them were Herbert Spencer
and Galton. Both Spencer and
Galton, using the theory developed
by Darwin in the social field,
thought that this theory could be a
valid reason for eugenics. They
were of the opinion that just as
creatures that are weak in
evolutionary principles are
eliminated, weaker humans should
be eliminated in some way.
Galton was Darwin's cousin.
Throughout Darwin's life, he did not
go too far, afraid of Darwin's
reaction, but he did studies on this
subject after Darwin's death. These
works were accepted by the
respectable circles of the period,
and for a while, people were unfortunately
managed by the administrations that had the idea to improve the
society through the principles of eugenics.
These ideas also led the German
scientist Heckel, who was also an
evolutionist, to develop eugenics and
descent purification by developing
its principles. Later, Germany, based
on Heckel's principles in the early
twentieth century, used these
countries for Hitler's eugenics,
causing tens of thousands of
people, tens of thousands of poor,
weak, sick and homosexuals to be
killed in gas chambers, causing a
method of eugenics.
millions of Jews were killed in
concentration camps with such an idea.
... ... ... ... ... ...
Humanity always makes mistakes
like this using science. An airplane
that science has put in front of us
can be used as a means of
transport, as well as a weapon or a
war vehicle. The explosive
substance can be used for road
construction as well as to kill
people.
This also happened in evolution, that
is, we were faced with a process
where the principles of evolution
could be used to the detriment of humanity.
Darwin'in geliştirdiğü Evrim Teorisi'nin
daha sonra onun insanın evrimi sürecinde
tanımladığı şekliyle anladığımızda
Darwin'in söylemek istediği ile bu öjeni
ilkeleri birbirine hiç uymamaktadır.
In fact, when we understand the theory of
evolution developed by Darwin as he
described it in the process of human
evolution, what Darwin wanted to say and
these principles of eugenics do not
match at all.
This point of view was unfortunately
not understood in Darwin's
interpretation for a long time. Until
the end of the 20th century, and even
very recently, these ideas are newly understood.
and Darwin's view of the evolution of
socialism Today again sheds light on
us in terms of social evolution. We're
science.
We can use science to warm up, we
found a heat source with scientific
same way.
but it depends on how we use it.

That is, it is the fire that cooks a
bread, and it is the fire that burns it.
This depends on how we use fire.
Before finishing my words, I would
like to emphasize one of my basic
thoughts that I have also spoken in all my evolution
presentations. I say it is better not to get it at all
than to misunderstand or misinterpret evolution.
For this, I think the basic principles
of evolution should be well known.

I hope to be able to go to the bright
days when we turn on the light of
science at the right time. I wish you
all healthy and happy days.
Have a nice day.
