survival of the fittest
The idea that those individuals in a species that have characteristics selected for by nature are biologically the most fit. They are the ones who more frequently survive to be the parents of the next generation. The fittest individuals are not necessarily the strongest, largest, quickest, or smartest. This concept was central to Charles Darwin's idea of natural selection.
