One possible theme of “The Call of the Wild” could be that only the strongest survive. Explain how this relates to Darwin’s theo

3241004551 [841]

Charles Darwin's natural selection theory holds that "only the fittest species will survive the competition for scarce resources". At a time when Darwinism dominated evolutionary theory, Jack London lets it reflect as a major theme in his "The call of the Wild".

The link between both pieces of writing is seen through the journey of transformation followed by the main character Buck, a St. Bernard dog, from being a domesticated pet, past his getting trafficked as a sled dog, and into becoming the fiercest pack leader.

Mid chapter III in the book, Buck finally opposes the original pack leader, Spitz, to death as London narrates "It was inevitable that the clash for leadership should come. Buck wanted it. He wanted it because it was his nature". Spitz finally dead, Buck stands "the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good."

Current evolutionary theory counters Darwin's stating that what determines survival is not superiority but rather the ability to adapt to surrounding conditions or survive dramatic change in the environment.

In any case, I believe Buck is a great example of the drive for adaptation in a living creature, which doesn't necessarily imply progress but retrogression under unfortunate enough circumstances.
