Tippett:
Okay, in case you are incredulous at this last stunning idea because you, like I, read the words "survival of the fittest" in
the edition of On the Origin of Species that you were assigned in school - here's some deeper context. That phrase was not in Darwin's original text. But
his contemporary, the sociologist and philosopher Herbert Spencer, who Janine began to mention, was a popularizer of applying Darwin's ideas to the human social sphere — social Darwinism. And Darwin himself eventually borrowed and added Spencer's words "survival of the fittest" starting with the fifth edition of his history-making work.
This point exactly is made by Janine Benyus in film, Biocêntricos (wildlifefilms.org/portfolio/bi... & in her conversation with Krista Tippett onbeing.org/programs/jan...
Darwin said, “Survival of the Fit. Which means: fit to place, fit to your community.”
