Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
Social Darwinism is a theory about society. This theory states that individuals and groups are a product of natural selection.

Natural Selection
Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
It wasn't! Social Darwinism is a concept developed by Herbert Spencer and has nothing to do with the biological theory of evolution by natural selection. It is a Landmarkian concept in a fashion as groups compete with groups and acquired group superiority's are passed on. Also, the theory of evolution by natural selection is a individual selection theory, basically, and has nothing to do with group selection of this nature. Darwin was not pleased by this Spencerian corruption of his theory. PS: I, personally, am appalled that this nonsense is still being taught in schools. Tell your teacher ( sociology, perhaps? ) to get a clue!
Alfred Russel Wallace independently developed the theory of natural selection around the same time as Charles Darwin. His work on biogeography and observations of species distribution helped support the idea of evolution through natural selection. Wallace's paper on the subject prompted Darwin to publish his own theory, resulting in both men being credited with the theory of natural selection.
Darwin's theory of evolution.
Alfred Russel Wallace independently developed the theory of natural selection around the same time as Charles Darwin. In 1858, both Darwin and Wallace presented their work on natural selection to the Linnean Society of London. Their ideas greatly influenced the development of modern evolutionary theory.
The Tendencies For Varieties To Depart Infinitely From Their Original Forms.Or, in other words a theory of natural selection that was very much like Darwin's theory. Both papers were read out to the Linnean Society in 1858, so that makes Wallace the co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection.Biogeography was the greatest contribution made by Wallace to evolutionary understanding.
