A very vague question, but a vital component of the evolution of society (or ideas) is "memes" introduced by Richard Dawkins (evolutionary biologist). The evolution of memes play a very important role in societies through the ages.
Two Dimensions of Society - Static (synchronic) perspective • view of society as a snap-shot of essential structure • explains how a society reproduces itself as essentially the same • examples: feudal society, market society - Dynamic (diachronic) perspective • view of changing forms of society over time • resulting in theories of periodization (e.g. as epoches, stages of evolution) • historical vs. evolutionary models (deterministic) • example: classic Marxist versus functionalist models of evolution
In Darwin's mind his theory took away the need for a god. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science communities at that time. He was challenged by Alfred Wallace who had individually come up with the idea so Darwin published his book (Origin of Species...) first.
Evolution is the process of change in the characteristics of living organisms over generations, driven by natural selection. Sociology, on the other hand, is the study of human society and social interactions, focusing on behavior patterns, social structures, and institutions. Evolution deals with biological changes over time, while sociology examines human behavior within social contexts.
Social Darwinists believed that society should not protect its weaker members but should allow the fittest to survive and the less fit to die, which would aid social evolution, just as the survival of the fittest is the driving force behind biological evolution as described by Charles Darwin.
Herbert Spencer likened human society to a biological organism, with various parts functioning together for the survival and progress of the whole. He believed in the principles of evolution and social Darwinism, stating that societies evolve and adapt over time, just like living organisms do in nature.

Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace developed complementing theories of evolution and presented them to the Linnean society in 1858.
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.
Evolution in society.
There is no theory of creation. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. The only significance to human society is that some people can not accept the real and modern world because of ideological constraints.
The rise of parliament should be considered to be an evolution instead of a revolution. This is because the idea of parliament started as informal gatherings of noble citizens who voted on crucial matters of society.
Anything that is automated in today's society has some type of computer. Cars, cash registers, calculators, cell phones, etc. They make our lives easier and allow for evolution.

Charles Darwin theorized that all species come from one common ancestor through evolution.
