That would be a very interesting thing to explore indeed. I suspect we could already see some of it appear with some simple cellular automata. We could probably get many insights from it, and better predict issues such as resistant germs. > with disposable individuals And this is also something interesting: if an individual is too resistant, you risk propagating a disease to a large portion of the population. If each individual is too weak, you risk taking down the whole population. There are probably some evolutive pressure at play: a population with a rampant disease (a parasite, for instance) might be less competitive than another one that sheds its infected members.
