Evolve-o-Matic

The Evolve-O-Matic demonstrates some principles of evolution. The table above contains a bunch of gibberish words. Click the "word" that looks most like a real word. The Evolve-O-Matic will then display a new page of words which are mutated versions of the word you selected. Mutations are shown in uppercase.

With the Evolve-O-Matic, you are the selecting force. In real evolution, various natural forces do the selecting. Another way to look at it is that the organism themselves do the selecting, by either dying before they reproduce, or reproducing before they die.
