"Just a thought but has any one else noticed that Santa is an anagram of Satan?????"
I think it is kind of like that Hitler/Hilter Python sketch...

Kakashi,
As the cause is (lack of) genetic diversity, there is no implication that humans are responsible. The article unfortunately compares the effects of the spread of tumours in the devil population with the intentional obliteration of an entire species - a poor analogy for what is otherwise an informative piece (with the exception of references to a particular cartoon character...).

"He said he also believed the theory of evolution leads to racism and ultimately genocide, an idea common among creationist thinkers."
Like most creationists / self-appointed ID "experts", they confuse Darwinism with Social Darwinism - a widely discredited ideology that holds that (a rare example of) group selection should enter human societies and "survival of the fittest" plays out between races and ethnicities. It dates back to the first part of the 20th century and as far as I am aware, no serious scientist or philosopher advocates Social Darwinism currently.
Also - as Klaatu barada nikto correctly noted- the name of "From Darwin to Hitler" is a reference to Richard Weikart's book 'From Darwin to Hitler, Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics and Racism in Germany' - perhaps Stein's only familiarity with his concept of Evolution and branded version of science.

Holistic Guru (read Quack):
"...can be complemented by acupuncture to relieve pain..."
Surely this is a parody? No?
Well it would make much more sense if that were the case!
