The aim of this paper is to expose the thrust of Charles Darwin’s theory of social and biological evolution and also restate that his theory of evolution reveals some imperfections especially in the study of socio biology. It must be noted clearly that, the paper exposes that the evolutionary terminologies like ‘survival of fittest’, ‘natural selection’ and ‘evolution’ were not original to Darwin. Rather, there were
predecessors who had pre-eminently postulated and contributed immensely to the theory of evolution. Again, the Darwinian evolutionary theory presents problems, which queries are raised why man is not evolving to other species and why other lower species are transforming into other higher species. It is in this respect that this paper observes that Darwinism is characterized by problems which are evidently found in the study of socio-biology. The paper further insists
that no matter the dimension of comparison, man’s social behaviour is distinct from other animals and plants. The implications derived from this paper is that man’s pattern of behaviour, his relationship with his environment and genetics are centred on ontological foundations of societies.
