It does not apply to Human society very much anymore. In the eras of neanderthhalls and early homosapians it applied so much more, for example: Only the very good hunters would be able to catch good prey for their family and therefore they would survive paving way for the good hunters children who are probably also good hunters because of their family.

They didn't. What you are speaking of is called social Darwinism and it should have been called social Spencerism because Herbert Spencer mistakenly applied the theory of evolution by natural selection to social theory and thus committed the naturalistic fallacy and Lamarckism at the same time. Just because something is natural does not mean it is good and how this " superior " social class viewed hereditary was straight out of Lamarck. Darwin wanted nothing to do with this mistaken notion.
Charles Darwin did not create any inventions. Instead, he contributed to society through his research and theories on evolution.
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution was created in 1983.
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Charles Darwin. A+
Social Darwinists were people who applied Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection to human society. They believed that competition in society would lead to the survival of the fittest and that this should be applied to social and economic policies. This ideology was used to justify inequalities and oppression in society.
In the context of society, the theory of biological evolution can be applied to understand social behaviors and cultural changes as adaptive responses to environmental pressures. For example, memes, values, and social norms can evolve through imitation, selection, and transmission, analogous to genetic evolution. By applying evolutionary theory to society, we can gain insights into the dynamics of social change, cooperation, competition, and the emergence of complex social structures.
The theory of social evolution holds that society is moving in a definite direction towards progress and development. This theory posits that societies evolve and change over time in a linear and predetermined manner.
Social Darwinists are individuals who apply Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection to society, justifying inequality as a result of natural competition. They argue that those who are most fit will succeed in society, while those who are not will fail. This perspective has been used to oppose social welfare programs and justify discrimination.

Social Darwinists applied Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection. They believed that the weaker members of society were as they were not because of their environment, but because they were lazy, unfit people, that wanted nothing more than to bring down the rest. During the popularization of Social Darwinism, those that were considered "superior," were those of high standing, of much influence, or of wealth. The lower and middle masses, were considered weak, and through the Social Darwinist view, things that society was better off with. This was pervaded by Horatio Alger stories and the belief that if they wished, people of lower classes could rise to fame and glory. Many Social Darwinists were also advocates of eugenics, and it is through the Social Darwinist philosophy, that the US Eugenics Movement came about in the 1960s. In terms of reform, Social Darwinism did little to help. If anything, it inhibited the efforts of many Progressives. While Progressives vied for social reform, Social Darwinists were content to leave things as they were. They believed that if things were left to their own accord, natural selection would take place, and the weaker members of society would be replaced by stronger, more able members. Eventually The Progressive Movement gained more support among the public, and reforms created despite the obstacles set by Social Darwinists.
Social darwinism
The theory that discouraged government interference in economic matters was social Darwinism. Some social Darwinists think that governments should not interfere by trying to regulate the economy as this would take away competition and self-interest in social and business matters.

Social Darwinism is a theory about society. This theory states that individuals and groups are a product of natural selection.
Structural functionalism is a social theory that examines how institutional arrangements within society function to maintain social order and stability. This theory focuses on the ways in which social institutions work together to ensure the smooth functioning of society as a whole.
