The Fittest of Human

When you hear about Darwin’s survival of the fittest, and look at your own circle of friends and acquaintances, who do you think would survive in the long run?

I used to think that Darwin’s survival of the fittest means the survival of the strongest, healthiest, and smartest. Among my own circle of friends and acquaintances, I think of those sensible people who are smart and open minded, culturally diverse, environmentally conscious, physically healthy, and financially stable – those who I think would naturally be at the top of our human pyramid.

But more recently, as much as I think those at the top of our human pyramid should survive, the reality of it is that most people in this category are also the least likely to have or want to have many children of their own.

So it suddenly dawn on me that the fittest of human may actually mean those who are fittest in their adaptations to our human social cultural environment; in other words, those who are most in line with the majority of human chain: the middle part of our human pyramid.
