I have extended the previous stub to a fully-fledged article. I acknowledge my debt with my English teacher, Ellen, for a very encouraging review process. I have used some ‹div› tags to make internal links to some bulleted list items, but the layout of those items has been somewhat altered. Josedavid (talk) 08:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1st generation The first generation of MA refers to hybrid algorithms, a marriage between a population-based global search (often in the form of an evolutionary algorithm) coupled with a cultural evolutionary stage. This first generation of MA although encompasses characteristics of cultural evolution (in the form of local refinement) in the search cycle, it may not qualify as a true evolving system according to Universal Darwinism, since all the core principles of inheritance/ memetic transmission, variation and selection are missing. This suggests why the term MA stirred up criticisms and controversies among researchers when first introduced...

This needs to be looked into, and I'm going tag the article. Nihola (talk) 04:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
