Therefore, while it is well known that greater mutation rates limit the accumulation of information due to the error-threshold [ 6], greater mutation rates can also limit the evolution of complexity by inhibiting the evolution of complex ecological organization.

Even more delightfully, his ideas about the evolution of complexity may also turn out to apply to the economics of technology and even to cosmology, as he outlines in closing chapters.
Scientists can imagine twiddling them, but it turns out that nature is surprisingly finicky, they say, and only a narrow range of settings is suitable for the evolution of complexity or Life as We Know It.
BUSINESS DAY, PAGE C1 The Evolution of Complexity By reconstructing ancient genes from extinct animals, scientists have demonstrated the evolutionary progression that created a new piece of molecular machinery by reusing existing parts.
"The evolution of complexity is a longstanding issue in evolutionary biology," said Joseph W. Thornton, professor of biology at the University of Oregon and lead author of the paper.
A nonzero-sum three-person coalition game is presented to study the evolution of complexity and diversity in cooperation, where the population dynamics of players with strategies is given according to their scores in the iterated game and mutations.
First, it is common to view the evolution of individuality itself as the evolution of complexity.
