Abstract

A model of evolution which combines mutations and speciation mechanisms is presented and analyzed. Information and entropy of the populations generated by the model are calculated and followed through history. It is found that the model allows simultaneous increase of information and entropy with time, consistent with notions of physical entropy increase as well as biological evolution.

摘要

提出并分析了一个结合突变和物种形成机制的进化模型。计算了该模型所产生种群的信息和熵，并追踪其随时间的变化。结果发现，该模型允许信息和熵随时间同时增加，这与物理熵增加以及生物进化的概念相一致。
