Abstract
We use genetic algorithms for estimating the evolution time of the eye. Our main purpose is to demonstrate that a deterministic ap- proach, which neglects to consider locally optimal evolutionary paths, tends to underestimate the evolution time by at least a factor of 5, and probably more.
