Evolution thru fitness biased reproduction is one of THE most important scientific ideas of all time. And it doesn't just apply to the evolution of living things. a strong case can be made that cultural artifacts spread (and die out) the same way (ie Dawkins' "memes"), even business.

a truly wonderful introduction to the multifaceted power of the evolutionary idea can be found in Daniel Dennett's Darwin's Dangerous Idea
