Stammt der Mensch vom Affen ab_ Seit Darwin ist klar, daß wir zumindest enge Verwandte sind. Ein schöner Schock für alle, die sich für Gottes Ebenbild hielten. Aber kein Ende der Unbescheidenheit gegenüber der Natur. Denn Darwins Lehre von der Entstehung der Arten hat Klippschüler gefunden: alle, die ein Leben auf Kosten der Umwelt und der anderen mit dem >Naturgesetz< vom Überleben der Tüchtigsten begründen.
