What is the relationship of social Darwinism to biological evolution?

To what extent is Darwin himself responsible for social Darwinism events?

Answer 1

* The answer for the 1st question is - the Nazis social darwinism applies to race while the capitalists had belief in economic productivity . Capitalists deny any comparision of them with the Nazis.

* The common point in both the concepts is that in both of them the organisms have to adapt while evolving.

For example:- Giraffes had normal necks but they couldn't eat the leaves on the tree , as the time passed their necks grew so long . This is comes under social darwinism were the giraffe evolved by adapting.

And in biological evolution the humans evolved from apes through 5 stages - australopithecus afarensis, homo habilis, homo erectus , homo neanderthalensis , homo sapiens. In these stages human invented fire, wheel cart and many mechanical intruments . They also adapted while evolving.

* Though Darwinism was given by Herbert Spencer but this concept was given in the book " The origin of species" by Charles darwin. He himself got involved in darwinism by promoting the concept of darwinism in his book.
