Survival of the Friendliest ft. Brian Hare

What if the secret to “survival of the fittest” isn't strength, smarts, or power but rather the ability to connect and cooperate?
Evolutionary anthropologist and bestselling author Dr. Brian Hare explores how cooperation and sociability have shaped the success of species like dogs, bonobos, and especially us humans.

survival of the fittest is nothing to do with the things mentioned in the header. it's about adaptation to the environment.

@jedtattum9996 - Working together helps the group to survive in the environment. I think that's the point - i is far better not to be alone.

Let's not pretend it hasn't been bastardized to mean survival of the strongest and the most dominant. For one, the actual darwinian quote is "survival of the fit". "Survival of the fittest" was coined by Herbert Spencer, who also coined the term "social darwinism", so you can see how this perspective of survival of the friendliest is needed?
