How do good ideas go horribly wrong? Darwin’s theory of evolution is taken to a new level with Social Darwinism, but applying theories of nature to a social context can be problematic. This website will provide a basic overview of social darwinism, prominent people who influenced the creation of the theory, key concepts and big ideas behind it, and examples in history.
