Will to Power and Evolution

In the Prologue, Zarathustra asserts, "Man is something that should be overcome", and proceeds to liken the relation of Overman to Man to that of Man to Ape.  Later, when he introduces Will to Power as the life-force to replace Will to Live, he characterizes it as "Self-Overcoming".  So, even if Nietzsche does not explicitly describe it as such, and it has not be classified by scholars as such, Will to Power is plainly an Evolutionary principle.  Accordingly, entailed in these passages is a rejection of the Darwinian subordination of Evolution to Survival.  Furthermore, unlike orthodox Darwinism, Nietzsche extends the concept of the origin of the Human species, to that of a Super-Human species, a process that has yet to be completed.  Thus entailed is also a repudiation of so-called Social Darwinism, the apex of which is merely a concept of a type of individual Human.
