Meaning of "darwinian" in English

The term "Darwinian" refers to concepts and principles derived from Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

Darwinian principles are applied beyond biology, influencing fields such as economics, sociology, and ethics, where competition, adaptation, and survival are central themes.
