According to charles darwin’s theory of natural selection, a) people control evolution. b) the fastest species always survive. c) the strongest species always survive. d) the fittest species survive

The Eloi lacked most of the qualities that members of the Victorian aristocratic class prided themselves on and considered superior, such as intelligence, strength, and creativity. The Time Traveller initially tries to explain away the apparent contradiction between the Eloi's success as the surviving species and their lack of intelligence using the theory of evolution. Being unaware of the true nature of the Morlocks, he theorizes that the Eloi have adapted to a life without danger or disease and have no need for any kind of work.

Wells explains how a human from his own time who is intelligent, strong, and has emotions would be a hindrance to the existing social order of the world of the Eloi. In this way he clarifies to the audience that evolution is just a response to the changing surroundings, which would not necessarily make a species better; evolution would only make a species better suited to its environment. He thereby strongly critiques social Darwinism, which based many of its principles on a flawed understanding of the theory of evolution. Instead, he suggests that the successful species is not necessarily the “best” species. In the same way, he suggests that the aristocratic class at the top of the social order is not necessarily better than the working class, intellectually or biologically.
