Abstract
A Prolog implementation of a simple Lamarckian evolution module for genetic algorithms is discussed. Lamarckian evolution posits that characteristics acquired during a phenotype's lifetime may be inherited by offspring. Although largely dismissed as a viable evolutionary theory for natural systems, Lamarckian evolution has proven effective within computer applications. The strengths of the implementation discussed here are its speed and simplicity -- the latter promoting extensibility and specialization to particular applications.
