Darwinism and Human History

Despite their distortion of it, 'Social Darwinists' have been nearly alone in recognizing that if Darwinism applies to the past, it does so to the present and the future, as well.  Now, how it accordingly applies depends on whether Survival or Evolution, each of which is prominent in the theory, as has been previously discussed, is the fundamental principle.  For, if the former, then Evolutionary leaps are only occasional, and may be unnecessary in the event of a successful adaptation, e. g. may be merely a thing of the past for the Human Species.  On the hand, if the latter, then Human history, in even its smallest moments, is, and continues to be, a preparation for a new Species.  In that case, Nietzsche is correct to conceive Humanity as a "bridge", whereas the Social Darwinist concept of Human society as an arena for the determination of the "fittest" qua the wealthiest, is small-mindedly muddled.
