By the late 1860's, Darwin came to describe this process as the survival of the fittest. This is very different from Lamarck's incorrect idea that the environment altered the shape of individuals and that these acquired changes were then inherited.
Natural selection, which is also called survival of the fittest, plays a stronger role in evolution than any other factor. The organisms with the strongest characteristics to â¦enable survival mate and produce offspring. Thus, the creatures with the strongest iciosyncrasies to enable survival are the ones who produce the most offspring, thus playing the strongest role in evolution and continuation of its specific characteristics.
