      I know Dances with Wolves pipped Good Fellas for an Oscar,
      And I seem to recall Slumdog winning one as well, so I am going to suggest winning and Oscar for each as the answer.....

      Close but no cigar. More specific

      No. Go back to the Oscars and narrow it down.

      A quick filler question.


      Who coined the now well known, and often misinterpreted, phrase 'survival of the fittest'?

      NO.


      I'd never ask such a straightforward question, would I? :)

      Good try but he was born almost 40 years after the phase was first coined.

      Yes, Herbert Spencer. Well done.

      Darwin only put it in his fifth edition of On the Origin of Species.

      Couldnt have given first name. I read Darwins Origin works and remember reading up on the mention of Survival of the Fittest. It was a reference to Darwins "natural selection", right?
