What interesting about this is I work rather heavily in research around what we call "biologically inspired machine learning". We basically take apart the brain and the natural mechanisms that make evolution work, reverse engineer to figure out how it works and why, then apply those mechanisms to computer algorithms to improve on our own machine learning and evolutionary algorithms.
So not only is evolution real, but it is extremely powerful and something we replicate (or at least try to replicate) in computing with some level of success.
