Answer
Societies are the social structures to which Spencer applied evolutionary concepts. He viewed societies as evolving through natural selection, with the fittest societies surviving and passing on their traits to future generations. Spencer believed that societies progressed from simple to complex forms through a process of differentiation and integration, and that this progress was driven by the competition for resources and the struggle for survival.
