What was the misinterpretation of Darwin's theories?

The one that comes immediately to mind is the misnamed Social Darwinism.This was a concept put forward by Herbert Spencer that posited the selection of human societies based on their fitness and is just a form of group selection and a bastardization of the theory of evolution by natural selection which tells us the individual is selected based on reproductively beneficial traits. Human societies do not biologically reproduce and have nothing in the way of the hard mechanisms of inheritance individual organisms do so societies do not compete in a Darwinian fashion.
