I've worked both sides of this furrow (both genetics and GA) and I've
learned that GAs are related to genetics about the same way BP is related
to wet networks. In both cases, the AI community has created a simplified
and sometimes wierd analog to a naturally occurring phenomenum. JMS is
probably the right place to start, because the baroque complexity of
nature is likely to provide alternative ways of doing GAs that your
ordinary computer scientist is likely to have no clue about.
