Darwin provided a "motive" for evolution which some see in a philosophical way in the constant struggle for superiority among species.

That's a misconception. The concept of species struggling for superiority comes from Lamarck. Darwinism has no intentional "motive"; it's just death-take-the-hindmost.

Didn't Darwin caution against compassionate accomodation?
