The Universal Darwinism

Universal Darwinism is the idea that the principles of natural selection—variation, competition, and adaptation—apply not just to biological evolution but to many complex systems across the universe. It suggests that environments favor certain traits or information patterns that help systems survive and evolve over time. This process of selection and change can occur in areas like culture, technology, and even ideas, leading to progress and diversity. Essentially, it’s a broad framework for understanding how any system that undergoes variation and selection can develop and become more advanced.
