Creationists often like to claim that complex traits cannot
arise from the "simple" processes of mutation and selection.
They often claim that these processed are not even observable
(even though we've been observing them since we began breeding
plants and animals). used evolution to make ROBOTS. And not just
any robots - robots that walk, hunt each other, evolve their
shape, and which are even altruistic - a distinctly mammalian
trait. All of that was evolved; starting with nothing more than
a collection of parts and a simple mutation/selection algorith.
The above image shows one such robot - in this case, this is an
example of a walking robot whose shape evolved through
autonomous design and fabrication. Fancy way of saying the parts
were randomly put together, mutated, and selected until a
functioning robot was formed. Pretty freakin' cool if you ask
me! This is hardly the first time computers and robots have been
used in evolutionary experiments. but what does make this
experiment unique is that its the f
