p.110 The intuition that a system can respond adaptively to its environment by mimicking inside itself the basic
dynamics of evolutionary processes was already present in Darwin (1859): but it is mostly after the work of Holland
(1975) that some basic features of evolution as a search and learning process have been clarified.
p.110 Holland (1975) has suggested that these basic processes of "evolutionary search" are at the heart of the adaptive
performance of complex systems.
