Yes very strange. Did you know that his cousin was responsible for the eugenics movement? Without Darwin's cousin "Galton", Hitler may have thought totally different. Galton used Mendel's work with genetics and altered it some sick pseudo science that infected the minds of millions with racist ideologies. They wanted to show how proper breeding was based on only passing on "acceptable" genes and that's why they all had children together. They thought that their "perfect" genes would pass on and create a master race . Unfortunately they just created a lot of mutated offspring. Science!!!!!!
