Social Darwinism

A

A social theory where Charles Darwin’s theory about evolution and natural selection was applied to human society. Those who were fittest for survival enjoyed wealth and success and were considered superior to others. According to the theory, non- Europeans were considered to be on a lower scale of cultural and physical development because they had not made the scientific and technological progress that Europeans had. Europeans believed that this gave them the right/duty to bring their progress to others.
