Facilitated Variation: How Evolution Learns from Past Environments To Generalize to New Environments

Figure 1

A small number of mutations evokes large useful phenotypic adaptation in systems showing facilitated variation.

(A) Beaks of Darwin's finches. (B) RNA secondary structure evolved under modularly varying goals (MVG). (C) Logic circuit evolved under MVG of decomposable Boolean functions.
