That's what I think of when I look at this chart:
http://www.handprint.com/LS/ANC/evol.html
To me it says that some line of Homo Egaster spawed 3 different races:
1.) Homo Erectus (who discovered fire),
2.) Homo Heidelb
But the theory states that those small changes help choose which species
survive. As the changes that prove beneficial become traits of the species,
that species "evolves"...hence survival of the fittest. A better term might
be "propagation" of the fittest.

The Theory of Evolution does not speak to the survival of the fittest,
or more correctly, natural selection.
Evolution only deals with small changes over time.

Well, this really means the economically fittest - ironically.
There's such a thing as a "war chest" and unless you have a big one
that means you can't wage war too long.
In order to get enough disposable capital to wage war you either have

Sure, there is more to civilization than military might, but great
civilizations have always contributed across the spectrum. The Chinese
invented gunpowder and cannons, but they also invented kites, acupuncture,
and many other things.
The Roman Empire conquered all of Europe with military might,
hich might be harmful to the human. I thinnk
