Why do only the strong survive?

Natural selection is the theory that only the strong survive. For example, the animals that can outrun their predators live to pass on their speedy genes; the slow are eaten. Natural selection is part of Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. England’s peppered moth is a great example of natural selection.

Is it true only the strong survive?

“Only the strong survive” is a not quite the way natural selection works, unless we use “strength” very loosely to mean “well adapted to thriving in their environment”. FACT: One of the most common adaptations of an organism is symbiosis when two organisms work together to better adapt to an environment.

Does fittest always mean strongest?

The phrase “survival of the fittest“, which was coined not by Darwin but by the philosopher Herbert Spencer, is widely misunderstood. What’s more, although the phrase conjures up an image of a violent struggle for survival, in reality the word “fittest” seldom means the strongest or the most aggressive.

What did Herbert Spencer mean by survival of the fittest?

Darwin wrote ‘survival of the fit’ to imply that those who were fit would live long enough to pass on their genes. Spencer wrote ‘survival of the fittest,’ implying those who were most fit would survive the social world due to some biological mechanism that made them superior.
