- I've worked both sides of this furrow (both genetics and GA) and I've
- learned that GAs are related to genetics about the same way BP is related
- to wet networks. In both cases, the AI community has created a simplified
- and sometimes wierd analog to a naturally occurring phenomenum. JMS is
- probably the right place to start, because the baroque complexity of
- nature is likely to provide alternative ways of doing GAs that your
- ordinary computer scientist is likely to have no clue about.
