Lord of the Flies Natural Selection and its Finest

Charles Darwin was a famous scientist whose most famous studies were the evolution of man and all other creatures. Darwin realized that certain species became extinct because they were not both strong physically and mentally, and he explains his theory which is called natural selection, and later claimed the phrase â€Å"Survival of the fittest.† This phrase can be seen through war as well as the aftermath of a war.
