Abstract

Evolution as selection of life strategies can be distilled to its minimum components: individuals, algorithms and inheritance. These elements are enough to reproduce the evolutionary phenomenon  from  the  most radical neo-Darwinism basis: the selection of the fittest is gradually improving the adaptation of the entire population until the perfect individual or, at least one that does pretty well, arise. In this simple approach not only novels are written by lucky monkeys, but also we can test the importance of mutation and sex, as similar agents but completely different effect. And not only that; this is such a neat reasoning that has been one of the first contributions from biology to computer science.
