Answer: The theory that was used to justify claims of racial superiority was social Darwinism.

Social Darwinism was a group of ideologies that arose in the late 1800s in which Charles Darwin´s theory of evolution by natural selection, was used to justify certain social views.

According to the theory, the weak were diminished while the strong grew in power over the weak.

One of the persons who adopted social Darwinism was Adolf Hitler, who considered that the German master race had grown weak due to the influence of non-Aryans, so he targeted certain groups of people that he considered biologically inferior for extermination such as jews, homosexuals, etc.

podryga [215]

The most famous piece of Mesopotamian literature is the Epic of Gilgamesh. This piece of literature is about the life story of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk. He was two-thirds god and one-third man.

It did not matter whether they were married, or a daughter of a nobleman. He didn't care. Gilgamesh's subjects cried to the gods and they created a wild man to keep Gilgamesh in check.
