Survival Of The Fittest - Stated Clearly

Support us on Patreon: / statedclearly
When many people think of evolution by natural selection, they think "Survival of the Fittest". This phrase is often interpreted to mean "only the strong shall survive" but when you look at how common tiny microbes are, that interpretation is clearly not true. What does survival of the fittest really mean?

    "can adapt to" suggests that they are changing intentionally. At an individual level none of them change at all. At a population level they change slowly to favour traits which suit the environment via selection pressures.

    Experts, if anyone of you here a Paleontologist/Biologist/M.I.T. Why not combining all present virtual simulations that we already have, (see below) to model the primordial sea and the origins of life is indeed an intriguing idea. By integrating data from various simulations, input all the data that’s already been collected and create a virtual simulation that can compute and process the data and could show us if what they’ve been presume will have the same outcome. Also, scientists could potentially create a more comprehensive and detailed model of early Earth conditions and the processes that led to the emergence of life. This approach could allow researchers to explore hypotheses about how simple molecules could have interacted and evolved in the primordial soup, leading to the formation of more complex organic compounds and eventually primitive life forms. By simulating different environmental conditions and chemical reactions, scientists could gain insights into the plausibility of various theories about abiogenesis-the process by which life arises from non-living matter. In this simulation we can have the glimpse, if the lightning struck also the real culprit of merging the cell and start gene expression to form a much more complex lifeform. Virtual Simulations that we already have: Chemical Simulations: Researchers use computer models to simulate prebiotic chemical reactions, studying how simple organic molecules could form more complex molecules like amino acids and nucleotides under early Earth conditions. Miller-Urey Experiment: The famous Miller-Urey experiment simulated early Earth conditions and demonstrated that organic compounds could be synthesized from inorganic precursors. Modern versions of these experiments use advanced technology and more accurate simulations of early Earth environments. Systems Chemistry: This interdisciplinary field studies how complex systems of interacting molecules can give rise to life-like properties. Simulations in systems chemistry explore how simple chemical networks could evolve into more complex, life-like systems. Artificial Life (ALife): Researchers create virtual models and simulations of life-like behaviors and evolutionary processes. While not directly simulating early Earth, ALife research provides insights into the principles of life and evolution. Astrobiology and Planetary Science: Simulations of planetary formation and evolution, including the impacts of asteroid bombardments, atmospheric chemistry, and the role of liquid water, contribute to our understanding of the conditions that might support the origin of life. Well, "THE EXPERTS" in the comment section will always have excuses right? Let's have, atleast a experiment virtual simulation, Evolutionist, can create a virtual simulation in their favor. Why not create a Uterus environment simulation, put any Microorganism, single cell, etc... and put lightning (as the catalyst of fusion, right?) let see if a worm-like creature truly become a complex lifeform.

    The "physically fit" sense of the word "fit" was first recorded in 1935. The word "fitness" only meant "suited to the circumstances" before then, which sounds exactly like the technical definition ("those that happen to be better reproducers"). So the confusion comes less from early writers thinking "fit" meant "strong" and more from the colloquial definition moving away from the now technical one.

    This, exactly. Thinking that "fitness" just means physical fitness, instead of any/all skills that allow an organism to overcome their environment, is the root of the problem here. Natural Selection is still very much survival of the fittest and always will be.

    @@KevinJohnson-cv2no "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matthew 19:17 Christian doctrine makes it clear that people are deeply flawed. People do what they want and what they (we) want is often self-destructive. I'm not smarter nor better than anybody. Believing in God has made me act better. It has also taken a lot of confusion out of my mind. Always room for improvement. The materialists believe in 'survival of the fittest' because it is a tenant of Scientism. (Scientism, Atheism, and Evolution are all the same thing to me.) What that tells me is that if a person is clever enough to lie and get away with it, then it is okay. It takes high intelligence to tell lies and maintain them. Why shouldn't a superior intellect just be able to fool people and steal from them and kill anyone that gets in their way. He has a stronger mind than them so being stronger makes him more fit to survive. It's evolution. Don't for one minute think that there hasn't been highly intelligent criminals. Gacy, Bundy and Manson were said to be genius lever IQ's and they shared the same beliefs as the Atheist: survival of the fittest, no Divine retribution or absolute morality. So just take what you want. You are smarter and stronger. You can hide stuff and lie because you are smarter. Smarter makes you more fit. Fool everybody, rape, kill steal. You are the fittest because of your superior intellect and you can probably get away with it for a while. Communists in China and Russia governed with little to no religious influence as far as they could. Their atheism led to a lot of war, destruction, death, and lots of it from what I hear. They were fighting for the same principles that atheists, evolutionists, materialists espouse. Religion is a tool for social organization. Any tool can be made into a weapon, (and that includes science, too.) In fact, just about anything can be made into a weapon. Religion has certainly been used to manipulate the masses into conflict. Nevertheless, according to the Bible, we Christians are not superior to anyone else in any way. Not morally, ethically nor intellectually. Speaking for myself, I do try to stay on the straight and narrow. Some days are better than others. Evolutionists, materialists, atheists are entitled to their opinions. And God Bless Them! I hope their beliefs serve them well. We are all on a path that is particular to ourself. Consider: People are natural born f-----ups. There may be a few angels out there, but my experience has been that we are our own worst enemy. I don't believe anything unless I can prove it too myself and it takes more than people's opinions on what evidence means for me to be convinced of any theories. From the beginning of the Bible, God gave instructions to His subjects. The penalty for not listening to God was gnashing teeth and wearing sackcloth, and maybe having your hometown sacked, looted and burnt to the ground. Jesus has been around 2000 years or so. The Commandments given to Moses for about 3300 years, Golden Rule ethics for over 3,000. These things aren't going to change, but the wise men and women of today, will turn to dust and blow away. Praise Jesus! I respect all other manners and methods of reaching the Divine! I hope their beliefs serve them well! Forgiveness, love and compassion are all the same thing. Bitterness, egotism and self hatred are all the same thing. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30 - 31 (The best advice I ever got.) I can't love everybody. Some people make me sick. I get bitter. I don't have the big Jesus heart that is required to love everybody and myself. But I aim for it. I hope you all have a good Holiday Season!

    Many people miss the point that it is *copies* of genes that are subject to evolution, and it doesn't matter if those copies come from you or from an individual who shares the same genes. This leads to what is called "kin selection". Also, the qualities that make organisms "fit" are any qualities that enhance the chances of its genes being copied. Depending on circumstances, these qualities can be having a co-operative nature as opposed to a competitive one.

    And it goes both ways. Those who live longer, in an environment that has scarce resources, end up competing with their offspring. If they can help their offspring to reproduce, it's a net benefit, but otherwise, it's actually an adaptive trait to die and get out of the way of their descendants. This is why I usually say evolution selects for those traits that produce the most grandchildren, not children. 😏

The thing is fitness is about reproductive success (how likely are you to survive to have children, how many children do you have, and how long do they survive?), chickens are thriving, T-Rexes are not.

    Except this idiot got everything wrong. The man that coined the frase "survival of the fittest" was not some guy that was Darwin's biggest fan, he was Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 - 8 December 1903) an English polymath active as a philosopher, psychologist, biologist, sociologist, and anthropologist. Spencer originated the expression "survival of the fittest", which he coined in Principles of Biology (1864) after reading Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species. So he lied and purposely dumbed that bit of information down The thing that he didn't talk about was this concept basically means. A cheetah must run faster than the slowest antelope or it will die. An antelope must run faster than the fastest cheetah or it will die. This statement is observably true. Anything born with less than near perfection will be eaten and not reproduce. Since many animals only have one offspring, this refutes the claim of shear numbers.

    There is another aspect to be considered. This is the wisdom not to exhaust the resources that sustain the survival of a certain species. Humans are obviously failing in this, which is causing the extinction of their species (and sadly countless others). So, rather than "survival of the fittest", I would say "survival of the most sustainable".

    European here. It used to be ‘Survival of the Fattest’. But when pronounced with an East Cockney accent, it sounds like ‘fittest’. Pronounced with a generic New Zealand Kiwi accent, it sounds almost the same. Since the Origin of Species was published in the mid 19th century, this makes a lot of sense. The skinny types usually didn’t last long, in London’s East End slums. We know that from Charles Dickens, who was a contemporary of Charles Darwin.

    Mutual Aid among Animals: The conception of struggle for existence as a factor of evolution, introduced into science by Darwin and Wallace, has permitted us to embrace an immensely wide range of phenomena in one single generalization, which soon became the very basis of our philosophical, biological, and sociological speculations. An immense variety of facts: - adaptations of function and structure of organic beings to their surroundings; physiological and anatomical evolution; intellectual progress, and moral development itself, which we formerly used to explain by so many different causes, were embodied by Darwin in one general conception. We understood them as continued endeavours - as a struggle against adverse circumstances - for such a development of individuals, races, species and societies, as would result in the greatest possible fulness, variety, and intensity of life. It may be that at the outset Darwin himself was not fully aware of the generality of the factor which he first invoked for explaining one series only of facts relative to the accumulation of individual variations in incipient species. But he foresaw that the term which he was introducing into science would lose its philosophical and its only true meaning if it were to be used in its narrow sense only - that of a struggle between separate individuals for the sheer means of existence. And at the very beginning of his memorable work he insisted upon the term being taken in its “large and metaphorical sense including dependence of one being on another, and including (which is more important) not only the life of the individual, but success in leaving progeny." While he himself was chiefly using the term in its narrow sense for his own special purpose, he warned his followers against committing the error (which he seems once to have committed himself) of overrating its narrow meaning. In The Descent of Man he gave some powerful pages to illustrate its proper, wide sense. He pointed out how, in numberless animal societies, the struggle between separate individuals for the means of existence disappears, how struggle is replaced by co-operation, and how that substitution results in the development of intellectual and moral faculties which secure to the species the best conditions for survival. He intimated that in such cases the fittest are not the physically strongest, nor the cunningest, but those who learn to combine so as mutually to support each other, strong and weak alike, for the welfare of the community. “Those communities,” he wrote, “which included the greatest number of the most sympathetic members would flourish best, and rear the greatest number of offspring” (2nd edit., p. 163). The term, which originated from the narrow Malthusian conception of competition between each and all, thus lost its narrowness in the mind of one who knew Nature. -Pytor Kropotkin

    1:33 This is a big question I always had. If natural selection is true then why aren't all animals generically immoral? If animal B leaves 20 years more then animal A, then animal B had a lot more chances to pass on more of her long-life genes. You might say that immortality simply did not evolve, but steam cells exist. An animal with more steam cells has a bigger chance of staying alive for longer, therefore more chances to reproduce. Even an animal that lives 1 year longer then the other members of his species has significant more chances to have more kids then others that lives less.

    I'd happily attempt to answer, but I honestly don't know what you're asking. I assume "Steam cells" are "stem cells," and "leaves longer" is "lives longer," but even adjusting those I don't understand your question. If you're asking why all creatures don't just do whatever they need to in order to live longer... they do. My chances of living longer and procreating are increased if I cooperate with you than if I steal your sh!t and do what I want. No clue how stem cells entered into it, or why you think they have anything to do with length of life (if I have that correct).

    Somewhere (I don't recall where) I read "survival of the fittest" reframed as "survival of the most able to adapt" which seems to apply here to some degree. I'd love to read other people's takes on that. I like the adaptability take on it, because it also seems to apply on an individual level as well, to behaviour and not just genetics. For example: I am a 5th generation cod fisherman, therefore I will keep fishing for cod even though there are not enough, and not earn enough to survive on. Or on a larger social scale, for example responding appropriately to climate change: Economic growth is a must, therefore we will continue on as we were and disregard the very clear signs that we must adapt to the world around us.

    Darwin was contemporary with Mendel, when genetics principles were only first discovered and dismissed by scientific community (and Darwin himself), so there was no study of genetics at the time at all, how could it be driven by eugenics idk. Also eugenics, although unethical, is indeed a valid (from scientific point of view) method of enhancing human species (meaning of course not nazi methods of breeding the true arian race, but scientific study of human selection). Successful examples of millenia of selection of different species is valid proof of concept, and thinking that these rules can't be applied to humans is stupid, human as much a mammal as a dog or a cat.

    4:20: How can you define who is a better reproducer absent their actual (past) reproduction success? Is there any way? Can 'nature' detect such a way by some natural means? Or is it that we assume that those who have reproduced well therefore must have been better reproducers? Although, I suppose that with descent with variation there must be a fact of the matter about differential reproductive ability. I'm just wondering if that really tells us anything about what we see. I mean, isn't it a truism that that which can reproduce does, while that which can't, doesn't?

    You can define it based on if they reproduce and how much. Nature doesn’t “detect” who is a better reproduce. You either reproduce or you do not.

  • @Homo_sAPEien
    @Homo_sAPEien Жыл бұрын

    I hate when people say “those which happen to be better reproducers tend to reproduce better.” It’s not giving any criteria whatsoever and is redundant. I think we need to escape the idea of “survival of the this,” or “survival of the that,” and recognize that there’s no end all be all that it all comes down to. Rather, it’s circumstantial to the environment and species. And, there’s several different criteria that can make an individual more likely to survive and reproduce within their environment(size, shape, color, hairiness, mass, texture, number of this or that body part, exedra).

    Anyone know the answer to this I've always wondered? When Darwin wrote his book, was he building upon ideas that were already being contemplated by anyone else? Or was it a completely radical idea that diverged from everyone else completely, and he was the only person considering such things.

    Evolution was already being discussed but not gaining traction. Darwin added the the concept of natural selection which finally made the idea of evolution plausible, and he laid out hundreds of pages of evidence for common ancestry. It's that combo that caused a revolution in biological thinking. If he had not done this, someone else would have. The foundational data had been collected and was already displayed in British museums of Natural History. In fact, Alfred Russel Wallace figured out Natural Selection independently but was not as well known as Darwin.
