1994年，美国印第安纳大学的鲁道夫·拉夫和他的同事们决定用遗传学的方法来计算进化发生逆转的概率。

In 1994, Rudolf Raff and colleagues at Indiana University in the USA decided to use genetics to put a number on the probability of evolution going into reverse.

说实话，在计算机科学的一些主要分支学科的命名上就可以看出生物学的影子，譬如人工神经网络，遗传算法和进化计算法等等。

Indeed, the names of major subfields of computer science-such as artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and evolutionary computation-attest to the influence of biological analogies.

进化计算是基于遗传学和自然演化思想的一个解决优化、搜索和学习问题的有效方法。

Evolutionary computation is an effective method to solve optimization, search and learning problems, inspired by genetics and nature evolution.
