Evolution
A process in which diverse entities, commonly called organisms, compete for limited resources in an environment, with the more successful organisms able to survive and reproduce (to a greater extent) into subsequent generations. Over many such generations, the organisms become better adapted at survival. The order (suitability of information for a purpose) of the design of the organisms also increases, with the purpose being survival. In an evolutionary algorithm, the purpose may be defined to be the discovery of a solution to a complex problem. Evolution also refers to a theory in which each life-form on Earth has its origin in an earlier form.
