"Survival of the fittest" explains royal inter-family killing. I don't know. I mean, I can buy a biological/Darwinian component to the patterns of royal executions, but it seems a bit reductive to say it was the underlying cause. The dynastic reasons for the executions were varied and complicated and not everything can be reduced to biological drives; humans are way too effed up for that.
