'The Survival of the Fittest'; application of Darwinism in the 21st century, 1880. The term Survival of the fittest was first used by Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) in 1851, and adopted by Darwin in the 6th edition of The Origin of Species (1872). If applied amongst the British aristocracy, by the 21st century they would be divided into two distinct parties, The Handsome People and The Clever People. Fusion of the two by intermarriage would be mutually beneficial to them and their progeny. Cartoon from Punch. (London, 24 April 1880).
