BMoon: “evolution hasn’t yielded many practical or commercial benefits”
Are you serious? I am a software engineer, so I can tell you that genetic algorithms ( applying the principle of evolution to an optimization problem ) has many practical or commercial benefits.
And the nice thing about simulating evolution on a computer is that you can simulate thousands of generations in a very short time, so you can really see the principle in action.
