Charles Darwin (related to 'survival of the fittest' concept in fluid motion)

Charles Darwin is best known for his theory of evolution, describing how species adapt over generations through natural selection. The phrase "survival of the fittest" refers to individuals with traits better suited to their environment having a higher chance of reproducing. While Darwin didn't specifically analyze fluid motion, this concept applies broadly: in fluid dynamics, certain flow patterns or structures persist because they are more stable or efficient, effectively "surviving" longer. Both ideas highlight how systems—whether biological or physical—favor the most adaptable or stable configurations over time.
