Basing on these cycles of regeneration, the extinctions of lower forms of life can only mean that as a whole or on the average, living things are doing righteous deeds so that most are going toward higher levels of life than lower level of bare minimum of survival and the lowest forms are the virus and the bacteria. So if the virus and bacteria ever become extinct then we can say that nirvana (the highest form of life) is within sight for everyone.
I did know about reincarnation, but I didn't know that the form of life you had was because of your life before bad/good avarage.

From your post I deduce that Hitler might be a virus or something like that.. hehe...
