Biology Class- "Survival of the fittest"

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when I was writing a conversation for my Sociologist Herbert Spencer on his "Facebook" page. I remembered when I was a freshman and had to take Biology and one time, my teacher started to talk about how only animals that are the strongest or fittest actually survive... which sounds pretty logical (obviously the sick and weak won't). But then I remembered thinking that it is probably the same theory for humans also. I mean if you think about it, a lot of people perfer to date and marry someone who is healthy and fit, not a sick person (no offense to those who are sick). And because those who are sick will probably not have a chance to reproduce and create offspring, their "weaknesses" causes them to die and not "survive". But for the fit and the strong, they will most likely reproduce an offspring and so half of their DNA survives with that offspring.

This concept of "Survival of the fittest" is the theory that Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin had coiled upon. They agreed that those who are more adaptive to their surroundings and environment, tend to survive the most. I never really cared about this whole "survival of the fittest" in Biology class, no offense teacher, but it is probably because I never really looked upon it in a human perspective. I now see that people who are mostly sick sadly grow old alone and without having the chance to have children. Although it kind of sounds mean, this theory of Spencer and Darwin sounds quite reasonable for humans and animals.
