Universal Darwinism

Universal Darwinism is the idea that the principles of Darwinian evolution, primarily natural selection, can apply beyond biological organisms to various systems and processes, including cultural, technological, and even economic developments. It suggests that just as species evolve through variations that are favored or eliminated by environmental pressures, ideas, behaviors, and technologies also evolve by competing for survival and adaptation in their respective "ecosystems." This concept highlights the role of competition, adaptation, and selection in diverse contexts, illustrating a broader understanding of evolution beyond traditional biology.
