This document critically examines the misapplication of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection to human society, a phenomenon known as Social Darwinism. It begins by outlining the key principles of Darwin's theory, emphasizing the concept of "fitness" as an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment, not necessarily physical strength. The document then contrasts this with the ideas of Herbert Spencer, who coined the term "survival of the fittest" and applied Darwinian principles to justify social inequality and laissez-faire capitalism. The text argues that Social Darwinism is a distortion of Darwin's theory, as it misinterprets "fitness" to mean social dominance and uses it to justify policies that discriminate against the less fortunate. The author ultimately condemns Social Darwinism as unethical and scientifically unsound, emphasizing the importance of cooperation, empathy, and mutual aid for human survival and societal progress.
