Evolutionary biology High‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biologyWikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyTemplate:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biology

Merge

Why are there 2 pages for this? There is Evolutionary Computation and Evolutionary computation They should be merged. JockoJonson 20:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Previously redirected to evolutionary algorithm, I saw it fit to define the distinction. --moxon 11:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

EC is not synonymous with EA

What happened to this article? As the original contributor says, EC is not synonymous with evolutionary algorithms. It's broader. The article should probably revert to 17:51, 28 February 2007, unless anyone has a better plan. --Michael Allan 17:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion because of alleged copyright refringement

Dear Oli,

I followed wikipedia's copyright policy, but could not see which part of my revision refringed copyright. It must be very easy for you to spot - i wonder if you'd be kind enough to spare a minute to point out which part to me, please? Appreciated.
