सामाजिक डार्विनवाद

Social Darwinism was a way of thinking that took Charles Darwin's biological ideas about natural selection and survival of the fittest and applied them to human society and politics, suggesting that competition between groups or individuals was natural and inevitable. It matters because it was used to justify inequality, colonialism, and discriminatory policies in the 19th and 20th centuries, even though most scientists today reject the idea that biological evolution provides a legitimate model for how human societies should be organized.
