Abstract
This paper makes a number of connections between life and various facets of genetic and evolutionary algorithms research. Specifically, it addresses the topics of adaptation, multiobjective optimization, decision making, deception, and search operators. It argues that human life, from birth to death, is an adaptive or dynamic optimization problem where people are continuously searching for happiness.
