The term 'survival of the fittest' is unfortunate; what Darwin ought to have used was 'survival of the fitted '. So long as an environment exists to which an organism is optimally fitted, that organism will persist without change. In fact, any examples of that organism which do change (mutate) will be selected out because they are less well fitted to that environment than their parents.

Recent scientific Catastrophic discoveries are shaking up things a bit too.
