My Evolution Simulation Hypothesis
Question:

What kind of creatures will thrive in my evolution simulator?

Hypothesis:

I think that there will be many creatures with high health, because they will survive more damage, high speed, because they can hunt and run away faster, high intimidation, because they will be less likely to be attacked, and high attack, because they will be able to kill stuff more easily.

Materials List:

Computer
My evolution simulator
Observer

Procedure:

Create/download my evolution simulator.
Run my evolution simulator.
Record the creatures that there are the most of.
Repeat steps 2-3 two times.

Data Table:
Run #1
Time (ticks)
Dominant Creature
100
Run Speed: 2, Name: 0.372, Intimidate: 3, Food Search: 194, Attack: 6, Health: 70, Regen: 0.4, Age to Start Hunting: 14, Hunt Speed: 1, Danger Distance: 19

They almost always had high Food Search. They also usually had high Attack. Regen was usually high as well.

Conclusion:

My hypothesis was partially right. I thought the creatures would have high Health (sort of right), high Speed (mostly wrong), high intimidation (sort of wrong), and high Attack (completely true).
I think the reason for high Attack was as different form of Intimidate. It could also be a defense mechanism. I think the reason for higher Run Speed than Hunt Speed was because they preferred to run away from each other instead of fighting. I think the reason for high Food Search was because they would be able to find food more easily. I think the reason for high Regen was because they would stay weak for a less time after a fight.

    To begin this experiment, go to the Evolution Lab located with the University of Phoenix student website. Once at the lab’s page, click Start Lab. This will take you to an applet to view and change the inputs for variables. For this experiment, the variable inputs on Darwin Island will be changed and Wallace’s inputs will remain as a constant variable. The only variable that will be the same for both islands is the heritability. The following table shows what the final numbers for each variable are. After changing Darwin Islands’ inputs, you may now run the experiment. Darwin’s Island sized was changed to 1.0 km, double what Wallace Island is. Some consistency was wanted, so inheritability remained at 1.00 and Darwin’s variance of beak size went up to 1.00 instead of Wallace’s 0.7. The initial beak sized was increased by one inch on Darwin’s Island. Birds with the best-suited bodies and beaks for the particular environment survive and pass along the…

    Lab #2 focused on the predator prey concept. Charles Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest is what was tested in this experiment. Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest states that the animals that are able to adapt to their environment the best are the ones who will survive and pass on those adaptations to their children. Animals adapt for many different reasons some of them might be to help defend against a predator, to be able to retrieve food more efficiently, or just to help them live in a harsher environment. The animals that are able to adapt to their situation the best are the ones that will be able to live on and reproduce the ones that are unable to will die off. In order to test this theory we used 100 paper chips ten of ten different colors and two different pieces of cloth to simulate an environment. We put the chips on the pieces of fabric and then turned around so we were not facing the fabric so when we turned to face it we could pick the first one we saw and then turn back around. We did this three times for each fabric.…
