A simple model of unbounded evolutionary versatility as a largest-scale trend in organismal evolution.

Artificial life - 1 Jan 2000

Turney P D

Abstract excerpt

The idea that there are any large-scale trends in the evolution of biological organisms is highly controversial. It is commonly believed, for example, that there is a large-scale trend in evolution towards increasing complexity, but empirical and theoretical arguments undermine this belief. Natur...
