This is an important point:
"The only reason I have ears like these is that similar ears didn’t kill either my mother or father before they had the sex that resulted in me. That’s what “survival of the fittest” really means. It doesn’t mean “survival of the one with the six-pack abs,” no matter what a “social Darwinist” might tell you. (There’s a huge and frustrating confusion here, because capitalist ideology took over Darwin’s theory before he published it!)"
The latter bit, - 'survival of the fittest' has been co-opted by neo-liberalism to to promote the individualist capitalism we suffer from, whereas it was meant to be a species wide trait.
