A computer scientist and biologist propose to unify the theory of evolution with learning theories to explain the “amazing, apparently intelligent designs that evolution produces.”
The scientists — University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science professor Richard Watson * and Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest) professor of biology Eörs Szathmáry * — say they’ve found that it’s possible for evolution to exhibit some of the same intelligent behaviors as learning systems — including neural networks.
