Evolution of digital organism at high mutation rates leads to survival of the flattest

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the development of a model to test Darwinian evolution. The model of digital organisms included 40 different ancestors in 40 population pairs which evolved into a dominant genotype is discussed.

The evolutionary origin of complex features

Article Abstract:

The origin of complex organismal features is examined with the help of digital organisms. The findings through this experimentation showed that how complex functions can originate by random mutation and natural selection.

Genome complexity, robustness and genetic interactions in digital organisms

Article Abstract:

Digital organisms provide the opportunity to test generalizations about living systems. Two groups of digital organism, simple programs for rapid replication, and complex programs to perform mathematical operations, were generated. Single and multiple mutations were introduced to each organism and the effects on the organism's fitness were measured. The complex organism were found to be more robust that the simple ones, with regard to average effects of single mutations.
