Social Darwinism, the theory that persons, groups, and races are subject to the same laws of natural selection as Charles Darwin had perceived in plants and animals in nature.
It is associated with evolutionary theory but now widely regarded as unwarranted. Social Darwinism was later expanded by others into ideas about survival of the fittest in commerce and human societies as a whole, and led to claims that social inequality, sexism, racism and imperialism were justified.
