Abstract
In this paper we study expressiveness of evolutionary computation. To do so we introduce evolutionary automata and define their several subclasses. To our surprise, we got the result that evolving finite automata by finite automata leads outside its class, and allows to express for example pushdown automata or Turing machines. This explains partially why Larry Fogel restricted representation in Evolutionary Programming to finite state machines only. The power of evolution is enormous indeed!
