The author likely believes that the phrase "survival of the fittest" is misinterpreted because it implies that only the strongest or most aggressive individuals will survive. However, Darwin himself believed that kinship and cooperation were also important factors in evolutionary success. Therefore, the author suggests that "survival of the kindest" is a more accurate interpretation of Darwin's ideas, emphasizing the significance of kindness and cooperation in the survival and success of species.
