Search methods modeled on natural selection: candidate solutions are mutated, combined and selected over generations. John Holland developed them in the 1970s, and artists such as Karl Sims and William Latham used them to evolve images and forms.
I hadn't thought of this before but a big difference between Quine and Sims is that a lot of genetic algorithms have a fitness function.

I was using genetic algorithms to create neural nets rather than the other way around, if that makes any sense.
