The Survival of the Fittest'; application of Darwinism in the 21st century, 1880. The term 'Survival of the fittest' was first used by Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) in 1851, and adopted by Darwin in the 6th edition of 'The Origin of Species' (1872). If applied amongst the British aristocracy, by the 21st century they would be divided into two distinct parties, The Handsome People and The Clever People. Fusion of the two by intermarriage would be mutually beneficial to them and their progeny. Cartoon from 'Punch'. (London, 24 April 1880). <br>Credit: Oxford Science Archive / HIP / TopFoto

&quotCharles Robert Darwin, LL.S., F.R.S. In his Descent of Man he brought his own species down as low as possible - i.e., to 'A hairy quadruped furnished with a tail and pointed ears, and probably arboreal in its habits' - which is a reason for the very general interest in a 'family tree.' He has lately been turning his attention to the 'politic worm.'"
