In this clip, Charlie suggests using an evolutionary algorithm to search for abnormal behavior after a murder occurs in a video game with a real-life component. Evolutionary algorithms imitate the biological process of natural selection to find optimal solutions.
In this clip, Charlie tries to identify a crimal via the car keys in her purse. Car keys use a mathematical algorithm to send a different n digit number each time the button is pressed, which the locking mechanism can identify as right or wrong.
Hank provides background information on the biologist who contributed to evolutionary history: Charles Darwin. He also explains the four principles of Darwin's idea of natural selection, which are variation, heritability, struggle for existence, and survival and reproduction rates.
