How did Gregor Mendel influence Hitler?

Answer 1

Mandel studied what we now call dominant and recessive traits. he showed how some traits of an individual could be passed to their young. most of his work was done on peas and actually rejected when he asked other scientists if they agreed. it wasnt until (i believe) after his death his work was 'rediscovered' and shown to be correct and useful.

the nazi conscept of a pure race used information that we had gained about human genetics (such as if you have blond hair you must be homozygous for the blond gene) and, through some unbeknown to me process, decided that this made you better than others.

one thing that is important to remember is that science can tell you what is true (or rather what may be true) and not what is morally correct. in my opinion, just because you are homozygous for a specific gene, doesnt mean you are morally superior or inferior than anyone else. i would go far as to say that most people agree with this now-a-days.

Answer 2

Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance and genetics was used to support Hitler's eugenics ideology. Hitler saw Mendel's principles of heredity as evidence to support his belief in selective breeding to create a "superior" Aryan race. Mendel's research lent a pseudoscientific basis to Hitler's ideas of racial purity and superiority.

Answer 3

Gregor Mendel's scientific discoveries of heredity led to the modern age of genetics. He helped scientists better understand evolution and helped reduce famine in the world.

Answer 4

He discovered genetics
