Darwin - Survival of the fittest?

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

All World One Happy family.


A joke I heard decades ago on David Frost TV show: "Do you want to easily get rid of 14 pounds of ugly fat?
Chop your head off!"

Another joke: A bank clerk returned to open his counter after lunch, and found a chicken and an egg waiting at the counter.

"Who is first?" he asked.

No wonder the clerk found himself with a free afternoon.

DARWIN - SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?

I first read about Darwin's survival of the fittest in my early school days, maybe sixty years ago. Ever since then I had occasionally wondered as to how babies ever were allowed to grow to be mature adults. We have a baby in the house now. I can see clearly that the baby is no where near fit enough to survive without the mother and all around him.

May be Darwin meant survival of those most fittest tp survive. Those animals which could most adapt to changing environment not the fittest, nor the fiercest. In fact many animals, that were very fierce, very fit to survive, have perished.

I do not remember anyone ever discussing this aspect of Darwin's theory. But I do know that it took me some sixty years to express a thought I had vaguely wanted to put to paper ever since it first occured to me.

I sincerely hope that you, reading this, never procrastinate to this extent. I wish you to do what you want to do, now, not at some time tomorrow.

You will have a more satisfied and contented life than I have had.

Wishing you every happiness, Shree-1
