Quite interesting. It corrects well the statement "Natural selection is about survival of the very fittest individuals in a population." to: Though "survival of the fittest" is the catchphrase of natural selection, "survival of the fit enough" is more accurate. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/misconceptions_faq....

I think that's a very important clarification, because we may look around and see very diverse population with very diverse handicaps - from mental to physical, and question how it could be that "survival of the fittest" let all this happen.

Information is also organized really well - short paragraphs, easy to consume, with links to more details in some sections. Target audience is probably someone who wants a few questions answered, but not a creationist or a biology scientist.

Would it make sense to turn it around and say "Natural selection is about unfit individuals in a population dying off"


The most accurate way to phrase it would be to say that "natural selection is about less fit individuals having a decreased chance of passing on their genes."

Evolution is really about which genes are passed on to the next generation. Most of the population at any given time is going to be less-fit than the fittest (by definition). That doesn't mean they don't pass their genes on. While totally unfit people may not be able to pass on their genes at all, many, if not most, of a generally less-fit population will pass on their genes at least one generation. Depending on the quality of the mate they are able to obtain, their genes may not go further than the one generation, or they may keep going for many generations. On average, the less-fit genes will "die off" but this isn't always the case, for many reasons.
