Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Charles Darwin coined the phrase survival of the fittest?

No. Two reference and peer-reviewed sources state that Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin, coined the phrase 'survival of the fittest'; one explicitly says Darwin never invented it.
