5. In what different meanings do you understand Darwin to use the term "the struggle for existence"? How many of these are applicable to human society?
6. What do you understand Darwin to mean when he says: "The structure of every organic being is related, in the most essential yet often hidden manner, to that of all the other organic beings with which it comes into compet.i.tion for food or residence, or from which it has to escape, or on which it preys"? Does his principle, in your opinion, also apply to the structure of social groups?
