Detailed explanation-1: -Social Darwinists believe in “survival of the fittest”-the idea that certain people become powerful in society because they are innately better. Social Darwinism has been used to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and social inequality at various times over the past century and a half.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was Herbert Spencer, not Darwin, who coined the phrase ‘survival of the fittest’ due to the fact that he believed human behavior was designed in a way that strives for self-preservation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is sometimes summed up as “survival of the fittest” because the “fittest” organisms-those most suited to their environment-are the ones that reproduce most successfully, and are most likely to pass on their traits to the next generation.
