[edit] Purpose

The purpose of this page is to collect links and references to useful studies simulating some aspect of evolution. I propose some initial categories, hopefully these will "evolve" as well.

[edit] Organismal adaptations

• Moth camouflage with birds pecking a computer screen

[edit] Irreducible complexity

• Lenski et al.

[edit] Population genetics

• See Reed Cartwright's stuff

[edit] Creationist claims about computer simulations

• Cybernetic simulations show Darwinian processes don't produce order
• Evolutionary algorithms smuggle in design in the fitness function
• The outcome of Dawkins' WEASEL program was prespecified

[edit] Links

• Molecular evolution: Booting up life
