Survival of the Fittest and Cooperation: Examining the world from the perspective of competition for survival reveals that only the strong and fittest survive, a concept often referred to as “Falling Prey to the Strong and Survival of the Fittest.” However, there are cases where this principle does not apply, when each entity cooperates with the others.
