Evolutionary genetics: evolution with foresight.

Current biology : CB - 24 May 2011

Salverda Merijn L M, de Visser J Arjan G M

Abstract excerpt

Evolution has no foresight, but produces ad hoc solutions by tinkering with available variation. A new study demonstrates how evolution nevertheless prepares organisms for the future by increasing their evolvability.
