Simulated self-organization of death by inherited mutations

Simulated self-organization of death by inherited mutations

An agent-based computer simulation of death by inheritable mutations in a changing environment shows a maximal population, or avoids extinction, at some intermediate mutation rate of the individuals. Our results indicate that death seems needed to allow for evolution of the fittest, as required by a...
