Abstract
Theoretical Biology Mathematical Biology
I believe we already have the mathematical tools to begin developing such a theory. For many years I have thought that it is a mathematical scandal that we do not have a proof that Darwinian evolution works. I want to find the sim- plest toy model of evolution for which I can prove that evolution will proceed forever, without ending.
