> It's possible that the survival of the fittest is no longer a useful > concept (it's not a "paradigm"), especially applied to human society. Actually, "survival of the fittest" is a term used by Social Darwinists, not Darwin Darwinists. While Darwin Darwinism focused on competition, it's long been known that survival strategies lean more toward cooperation. The organisms that know how to cooperate with their ecosystem survive better. Whether or not this applies to human society is left as an exercise for the reader. <_Jym_>
