A generative bias towards average complexity in artificial cell lineages.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2007

Lohaus Rolf, Geard Nicholas L, Wiles Janet, Azevedo Ricardo B R

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of life on earth has been characterized by generalized long-term increases in phenotypic complexity. Although natural selection is a plausible cause for these trends, one alternative hypothesis--generative bias--has been proposed repeatedly based on theoretical considerations. Here, we introduce a computational model of a developmental system and use it to test the hypothesis that long-term...
