fitness

Fitness is the relative success in transmission of a variant among a population. Most commonly used in biology, fitness refers to reproductive success (or survival) of individuals of a given genotype or phenotype. Extending to cultural evolution, fitness may refer to the combination of factors that influence whether "memes", beliefs, ideas, practices, etc. will spread within a population.
