Abstract

This paper deals with the relation between the so-called selfish genes and evolutionary computing without wishing to immerse into the biological evolution theories. The main goal is to show how a selfish gene could appear and how it is possible to demonstrate the presence of a selfish gene. We also want to answer the question if and how can the selfish gene be beneficial in the evolutionary computing.
