Providing the strongest evidence yet that human beings are still evolving, researchers have detected some 700 regions of the human genome where genes appear to have been reshaped by natural selection, a principal force of evolution, within the last 5,000
Finally a game half open. You start with a small creature and when you make offspring you go to an editor to design them. At any time the game populates the system with creatures designed by other players. First 2d, then 3d water, then walk
In social networks, some individuals interact with more people and more often than others. In this context, one may wonder: under which conditions are social beings willing to be cooperative? Current models proposed in the context of evolutionary game the
People accept their limitations so as to prevent themselves from wanting anything they might get. -Celia Green ==There is no a priori reason why a human being should not combine the qualities, say, of Einstein, Shakespeare, Mozart, Darwin, J.M.W. Turner
Primary interest is seeing that the best of humanity survives long enough to reach the next level. The next level is not for the timid, not for the easily discouraged.
J. Crow. Journal of Heredity, (1992)Abstract When an environmental change imposes strong
directional selection, there are two advantages of
sexual reproduction. First, an asexual population is
limited to the most extreme individual in the
population, and progress under directional selection
can go no farther without mutation; no such limitation
applies to a sexual population. Second, more
quantitatively, directional selection in an asexual
population mono-tonically decreases the variance,
whereas the variance of a sexual population quickly
reaches a steady value; this difference remains even if
the direction of selection occasionally changes. With
realistic environmental changes small alterations in
any particular measurement or trait are usually
sufficient to keep up with the changes, but fitness,
since it depends on a large number of traits, will be
selected with greater intensity, which may be enough to
confer a distinct advantage on sexual reproduction.
This applies particularly to a large or rapid
environmental change. Eventually mutation will enhance
the variance, but by then it may be too late to prevent
extinction of asexual strains..
