Humans aren't lions, and our society doesn't work the same way, even in more primitive times.

I'm assuming you were referring to survival of the fittest, which is commonly misunderstood to be survival of the strongest.

What survival of the fittest actually means is survival of those most adaptive to change, which is not at all what you are describing.

Obviously humans aren't lions. I was just saying that the idea that nature tends toward equillibrium between individuals doesn't stand up to even the most cursory look at real nature.

And if you think he meant human nature, I would say that generally, by nature, humans are kind and share with those they see as their people, but the complete opposite with anyone outside that group. Since the market is made up of people only in the abstract to most people, I would say that that nature doesn't tend toward equillibrium between individuals either.
