I am not a programmer of genetic algorithms, but from what I’ve seen of them, they are tuned to seek adaptive change that is most certainly non-random with regard to the reason(s) for adaptation. You can of course claim that this is a precise modeling of natural evolution in biological life forms. Which would then tend to falsify the Darwinian assertion that adaptive mutations are random with regard to fitness.
