Survival of the fittest"" may be a misleading phrase to describe the process of evolution by natural selection because survival matters less to natural selection than reproductive success does. it is impossible to determine the fittest individuals in nature. natural variation in a population is generally too great to be influenced by differential survival. reproductive success on its own does not necessarily guarantee evolution. fitness has little to do with natural selection.
