"the "fittest" genetic adaption for the environment"

Unfortunately Darwin's idea has been twisted by people such as Hitler and used to justify issues such as genocide. Remember the actual title of Darwin's book,

"The Origin of Species of Means of Natural Selection, or
Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life"

and also his attitude toward women, believing man is more highly evolved than woman. These ideas are woven into present day thinking even at a subconscious level. It is a good idea to look at our own thinking and old mythology to see if they still fit.
