Thermal Dynamics and Evolutionary Biology.

In the past years, a remarkable mapping has been found between the dynamics
of a population of
M individuals undergoing random mutations and selection, and that of a
single system in contact
with a thermal bath with temperature 1/M. This correspondence holds under
the somewhat restrictive
condition that the population is dominated by a single type at almost all
times, punctuated
by rare successive mutations.
 The evolutionary problem becomes closely analogous to the experimental
situation of glasses subjected
to controlled variations of parameters
such as temperature, pressure or magnetic fields. Non-trivial suggestions
from the field of glasses
may be thus proposed for evolutionary systems – including a large part of
the numerical simulation
procedures – that in many cases would have been counter intuitive without
this background.
