Abstract :
This paper discusses several metaphors from Darwinism that have influenced the development of genetic programming (GP) theory. It specifically examines the historical lineage of these metaphors in evolutionary computation and their corresponding concepts in evolutionary biology and Darwinism. It identifies problems that can arise from using these metaphors in the development of GP theory
