Abstract
Nature’s diversity of species is tremendous. How does mankind evolve in the enormous variety of variants — in other words, how does nature solve the optimisation problem of perfecting mankind? One answer to this question may be found in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Evolution is concerned with the development of generations of populations of individuals governed by fitness criteria. But this process is much more complex, as individuals, in addition to what Nature has defined for them, develop in their own way — they learn and evolve during their lifetime.
