in page 211 he writes: "Naturally occuring adpative behavior is the result of evolutionary determined pressures on the survival and reproduction prospects of embodied systems. However he will continue that in the animat domain Adaptiveness is a matter of surviving long enough in an environment to achieve certain goals. These goals may not necessarily include reproduction."
2 notes
01/. by animats Wheeler implies artificial animals or alternatively artificial autonomous agents. The class of such systems involves
-robots with actual sensory-motor mechanisms, and
-simulated autonomous agents embedded in simulated environments.
02/. Kampis will clarify the pressures of natural selection in evolution by saying evolution can only act on the phenotype but the real subject of evolution is the genotype.
