Question

One possible theme of call of the wild could be that only the strongest survive. Explain how this relates to darwins theory of natural selection and the survival of the fittest. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Is there one aspect in which you agree but another with which u do not

help

Answer 1

Not sure if you still need help with this

The idea that the only strongest survive is *somewhat* related to Darwin’s theory (in reality, it’s not just about strength, it’s about being well adapted to the environment and surviving to pass on genes. An organism doesn’t necessarily have to be the “strongest.” It can be exceptional in other ways, like size, stealth, endurance, etc)

Hard to really “disagree” because this is generally true in nature, but you could argue that humans mostly don’t follow this line of thinking anymore (we support people in need, we don’t just let people die off if they’re born with disabilities like they would in nature) and you could argue why we’re better off that way.
