Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

While there may be the vaguest element of truth in terms of physical evolution (resistance to disease, physical abnormalities etc.)'fittest' doesn't always mean strongest. The ability to keep people alive has given us countless amazingly brilliant minds who would, in earlier times, have perished before they ever contributed to humanity. The evolution of human collective knowledge and the things we are today capable of improve measurably from generation to generation. Mentally, humans are evolving at a staggering pace.

this is why at the very least"best suited for purpose" should be used instead of "fittest". But fittest never did mean what we take it to mean. and Darwin never even said it.
