Evolution can easily be misinterpreted in terms of Social Darwinism and the survival of the fittest. But evolution is more like the survival of the most varied, where various organisms are actualized from a virtual field of potentials. Each creature is driven by difference rather than equivalence as it expresses itself in the world. Species do not determine individual organisms, demanding conformity, but rather these organisms give shape to a species as a working category. The emphasis on difference is a denial of the ideas of one species or group inherently superior to another.
