Darvinistinen

Darvinistinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to Darwinian. It is used to describe concepts, theories, or phenomena that are related to or explained by Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This includes ideas such as adaptation, survival of the fittest, and the gradual change of species over time. The term is often used in scientific and academic contexts to refer to principles derived from or aligned with Darwinian thought.

In biology, "darvinistinen" refers to evolutionary processes. For example, a darvinistinen approach to studying a particular trait would involve examining how it has evolved through natural selection, conferring an advantage to organisms that possess it in their environment. It can also be applied to social sciences, economics, or even philosophy to describe systems or behaviors that exhibit competitive dynamics and selective pressures leading to the prevalence of certain characteristics or strategies. The adjective emphasizes the core mechanisms of variation, inheritance, and differential survival and reproduction that Darwin proposed.
