Survival of the Fittest?

The term ‘Survival of the Fittest’ was unleashed on the world in 1864 by Herbert Spencer when he published his work Principles of Biology. It was later picked up by Charles Darwin who used it himself in the fifth edition of On the Origin of Species five years later. But is it fair to say that the term “Survival of the Fittest” is synonymous with evolution by natural selection? In this episode of Evolution Talk we explore this very question.
