>The problem with that phrase is that it is so vague as to be useless. Since the only ones that get to pass on their genes are the ones that breed, anything that keeps that from happening defines that individual as unfit. But that could be anything from a lack of understanding of the importance of hygiene or a driving need to win every argument, to a lack of a heart or a cerebellum...

Sure. Nobody said that the rules can't vary with the times. During times of plenty, often the biggest and strongest survive. During famine, the smaller creatures who don't need as much to eat are the noes who survive. Who knows why humans have developed exactly the way they have?
