| Overview | ||||
| Copy, select, and vary | 2 populations, 3 mechanisms, and time in discrete steps | |||
| copying from the parent population to the child population | single and identical copies per parent | |||
| variation: from the parent population to the child population | children are not identical to the parent nor to each other | |||
| selecting the number of copies: children per parent | multiple (or no) copies per parent, depending on closeness to the 'ideal' | |||
| Review and discussion | copying as passing information from one generation to the next | |||
| Evolution as information passing with a learning component | experimenting to optimize, using all individuals from a population | |||
| Extras | copying as passing information from one generation to the next | |||
| not yet integrated or old | experimenting to optimize, using all individuals from a population | |||
