Meanwhile, computer programs that reproduce and evolve are starting to exhibit behaviors we expect from simple living creatures, such as interaction with complex environments and sexual reproduction. Artificial life forms that "live" inside computers have evolved to the point where they can chase prey, evade predators and compete for limited resources...
