Answer

Survival of the fittest means that the species with adaptions more suited to the environment are more likely to survive while species less suited will die out.

Answer

It was a theory developed by Charles Darwin regarding the evolution of animals and beings, where the species that is able evolve will inevitably replace the more primitive species.

example:

There were two types of humans, homo sapiens and erectus. homo sapiens were able to more easily adapt and evolve to their surroundings. This allowed them to continue living and adapting, while homo erectus died out. hence, survival of the fittest

Explain how evolutionary psychology is applied to psychology?

Darwin's theory of evolution is based on the survival of the fitest. The strongest breed with the strongest thus having strong offspring, in theory. Evolutionary psychology is based around a similar theory - survival and self-presservation. It is suggested that everything we do has both survival (of yourself/family/friends) and self-preservation at its core. This is used to explain certain phobias and complusions - a phobia of snakes is a mode of protection or O.C.D. is a means of survival as a constant state of cleanliness will keep you safe from germs hence extending your life... Survival of the Fitest :)
