“Survival of the fittest” actually Darwin got it wrong. It’s “survival of the most adaptable”. This isn’t my own observation but nevertheless a much better explanation of why some species become extinct and others prosper.
Evolution does not just keep going on spontaneously, it requires stressors which select for variations in a species. Apes, Neanderthals, Homo Sapiens did not evolve from each other; rather, they all evolved from a common ancestor species. Stressors caused branching in the family tree. Some branches died off, some kept growing. If the Earth faces some great change that gives survival/reproductive advantages over a long enough period of time, than those features will predominate. That’s the overly-simplified way that evolution works.

It is startling, the number of people who believe in Evolution who do not believe in Survival of the Fittest.
