  • Criticisms include:
    • Zimmerman, Andrew (April 2005). "Richard Weikart. From Darwin to Hitler". The American Historical Review. 110 (2): 566–567. doi:10.1086/531468.
    • "Unlike the claims regarding Haeckel’s embryology, Weikart’s claims regarding a lineage from Darwin to Hitler via Haeckel have been examined by historians of science and indeed have generally been found lacking. Numerous reviews have accused Weikart of selectively viewing his rich primary material, ignoring political, social, psychological, and economic factors that may have played key roles in the post-Darwinian development of Nazi eugenics and racism. Since there is no clear and unique line from Darwinian naturalism to Nazi atrocities, useful causal relationships are difficult to infer; thus, as Robert J. Richards observes, 'it can only be a tendentious and dogmatically driven assessment that would condemn Darwin for the crimes of the Nazis'." Gooday, Graeme Gooday, John M. Lynch, Kenneth G. Wilson, and Constance K. Barsky; Lynch, John M.; Wilson, Kenneth G.; Barsky, Constance K. (2008). "Does Science Education Need the History of Science". Isis. 99 (2): 322–30. doi:10.1086/588690. PMID 18702401. S2CID 24907434.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
