The ways of evolution of species.
The study of phylogenesis in living species started with Ch. DARWIN (1845-1912)
(and his contemporary R. WALLACE (1823-1913)
It constantly evolved until our days, becoming connected with ecology, ethology , genetics and populations genetics and a host of other disciplines
An entirely new line of research appeared during the last 20 years of 20th Century through the study of artificial neural networks , evolutionary robotics , paralled distributed processing , etc. This new field is also known as artificial life and seeks to find out a general theory of evolution of adaptive systems of all kinds
