Second and Final Call for Papers
        EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION

        Special Issue on
        EVOLUTION, LEARNING, AND INSTINCT:
        100 YEARS OF THE BALDWIN EFFECT

In 1896, James Mark Baldwin proposed that individual learning can
explain evolutionary phenomena that appear to require Lamarckian
inheritance of acquired characteristics. The ability of individuals to
learn can guide the evolutionary process. In effect, learning smoothes
the fitness landscape, thus facilitating evolution. A special issue of
Evolutionary Computation is planned for 1996, the 100th anniversary of
Baldwin's paper. See "http://ai.iit.nrc.ca/baldwin/cfp.html" on the
