Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No.
This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.
Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you'll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.
If we were this self-centered, we wouldn't have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.
Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.
The question nobody ever asks about survival of the fittest is what actually makes someone fit to survive?
That for nature to decide!
Today: Be faster than your prey!
Tomorrow: Have endothermic heat regulation so that you survive the asteroid impact that's going to blot out the sun!
Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it's pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it's useless.
Adaptability. Adapt or die.
Natural selection "asks" this question all the time. What you see around you are the different answers ;)
