Eugenics is basically applying the principles of livestock breeding to humans. These ideas predate Darwin by millenia and have little or nothing to do with the theory of evolution. One has to seriously misunderstand and misinterpret what scientific theories like the ToE are to think that it leads to Eugenics.
“Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism... neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the world’s greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy.”
