  org.aisb.bio.things.evolution.AsexualOrganism

public class AsexualOrganism

extends java.lang.Object

This is an "organism" for the purpose of running evolutionary experiments. There's a Sequence representing the "genotype", and a unitless floating point number representing how much time until the organisim reproduces. There's also an integer value representing "fitness". For convenience, there's also a floating point number representing "birthday", so we can fit the organism's entire lifespan into a timeline if we wish. There's also a "parent" of type AsexualOrganism, so we can trace the organism's family tree if we wish. (Under the hood, this is nothing but a data bean.)
