Incorrect. Evolution also requires the generation of diversity, a random process as well as a 'culling' of the fittest.
I'm not an evolutionary theorist, so I may well be out of my league here. Generation of diversity is a product of survival of the fittest, not an independent entity, I would think. Randomness is the entire topic of this argument, so its existence goes without saying. As for 'culling' of the fittest, I would argue that this is contained within the definition of 'survival of the fittest'.
If I'm wrong, please explain in layman's terms -- I had to look up what 'generation of diversity' meant and still am not too clear on the definition
