Dawkins’s Biomorphs
A visual demonstration of evolution through mutation and selection
How to use the simulator
- Inspired by: Richard Dawkins’s book The Blind Watchmaker
- Biomorph genes: branching, depth, angles, length, colour and symmetry
- Mutations: random changes to genes, with the selected probability for each trait
- Selection: choose the biomorph you like best as the parent
- Evolution: a new generation is created from the selected parent
- History: the display is limited to 15 generations
