Cliff-hanger! Can you elaborate on why asexual reproduction might perform better?
- Frogolocalypse 9y agoMy theory is that sexual reproduction focuses genes on performance in a stable environment, and asexual reproduction grows to encompass the entire gamut of every survivable environment. When you don't know the traits that are beneficial in an environment, a significant change adversely affects all sexually reproduced algorithms to a significant degree, whereas it affects all asexually produced algorithms at varying degrees.
