Artificial Intelligence, Branching Processes and Coalescent Methods in Evolution of Humans and Early Life

The monograph is composed of two parts. In Part I, there is a presentation of methodological apparatus used in the research studies described in the dissertation. In particular, the artificial intelligence and population genetics methods are considered. Part II shows how the methods described in Part I are applied in author’s evolutionary genetics studies. These studies are roughly focused in three areas, the theory of neutral evolution, the evolution of humans, and the origin of life. Finally, these three domains which constitute Part II of the book, are followed by Chapter 7, which gives the opportunity, not only to summarize the issues discussed in the whole monograph, but also to go beyond that material, by speculating on philosophical matters, which naturally occur when the artificial intelligence is considered.
