 - evolutionary theory

The theory of evolution as presented by Darwin (1859) holds that variability exists in the inheritable traits possessed by individual organisms of a species. When this variability results in differences in the ability of each organism to reproduce in their environment, those traits that improve reproductive ability will become dominant in the species. Species are thus evolving, under environmental pressure, such that their ability to reproduce is improved rather than evolving toward to some pre-established endpoint. Framed in this manner, evolution serves to explain change at the level of the species and not at the level of the individual. Since the work of Darwin (1859), evolutionary theory has been applied to a broad range of situations involving change processes. For instance, the field of computer science has seen the introduction of evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms. more
