Abstract
In this work we use a simulation model of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum to study mechanisms of evolutional selection. Dictyostelium discoideum shows "altruistic" behavior: some cells sacrifice themselves in order to enable the survival of other cells. This behavior contradicts the individual selection on a "survival of the fittest" basis, which is used in many computational algorithms. We will show that individuals with lower fitness will not die out; on the contrary, they might be necessary for the survival of a population. As a conclusion, we should rethink the practice of selecting the best individuals on the basis of one single measure in computational algorithms using a selection scheme.
