Allow me to Clarify

Although I was greatly impressed with a certain CEO who came to speak to one of my classes, he passed out a copy of his annual report which incorporated a theme of "Survival of the Fittest." The report was decorated with pictures of Darwin.

"And while the law (of competition) may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department"

Ummmmm...

That is a quotation by Andrew Carnegie. Chuck Darwin didn't push the idea of survival of the fittest. Carnegie probably isn't as well known as Darwin... umm... in that particular context, I guess, but we're all educated folk. It would not hurt us to be historically accurate and not say that Darwin posed the notion of survival of the fittest.

Oh, and Carnegie was talking about business, not evolution, but he was a fan of Darmin's theory. It seems to me that not only is it more accurate to put Carnegie on the report, it's more appropriate.
