The evaluation function = artificial selection, Wesley. And natural selection is a process of elimination not selection.

That's silly. Both natural and artificial selection boil down to selecting a fraction of genomes and eliminating others.

It's like saying that in football there are only winners, while in baseball only losers.

oleg, obviously you don't understand natural selection. Whatever is good enough to survive gets the the chance to reproduce. It is a large fraction of the overall varieties in the population that do so.

Artificial selection doesn't necessarily eliminate as much as try to get the right traits. Dog breeders don't kill the dogs they don't want.
