evolutionary

I really hope the current centralization of the web is an evolutionary step.

A long-term, widespread adaptation can be if this was a trait that was selected for in an evolutionary capacity.

Likewise, evolutionary algorithms have a long history, beginning at least as far back as Barricelli in 1954.

That's correct, but, from my understanding, revolutionary mutations are orders of magnitude less likely to happen than evolutionary mutations.

Have you not noticed that a few centuries ago society and technology made evolutionary instincts for reproductive success mostly obsolete?

The evolutionary gap between lions and humans is only in the tens of millions of years.

If i remember, they used to have shells in their evolutionary history (like the nautilus).

This is the product of the different evolutionary strategy for males and females, the males being high risk/high reward, the females being conservative/average.

It's mostly a language-evolutionary dead end that gave us some good ideas.

Also, confirming an expectation from evolutionary psychology, for many traits the bell curve for males is flatter and wider than the curve for females.

It's easy and safe, from an evolutionary point of view.

Whiteness of teeth and eyes are biological markers of being a good potential mate with [currently] good health and [presumably] strong immune system (evolutionary "hints" of having "good genes"), an analogy of peacock's tail.
