- This chapter demonstrates one of the fundamental principles of evolution:
iterated selection and mutation by several simple, but yet hopefully
convincing examples.
Cumulative
Selection
: »Me thinks it is like a
weasel ...«
- How can iterated selection and mutation help in finding
a predefined sequence of characters?
- Mimesis: Evolution of Butterfly Mimicry
- Butterflies sitting on barks of trees can adapt their
wing colours to their preferred environments. A simple simulation shows
how this adaptation can be achieved through evolution.
- Evolutionary Creativity: Biomorphs
- On the basis of biomorphs, simple, recursive line figures
first introduced by Richard Dawkins in order to discuss evolutionary principles,
we exemplify the creativity inherent in interactive, open-ended evolution.
