Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are adaptive heuristic search algorithm based on the
evolutionary ideas of natural selection and genetics. As such they represent an
intelligent exploitation of a random search used to solve optimization problems.
Although randomised, GAs are by no means random, instead they exploit historical
information to direct the search into the region of better performance within
the search space. The basic techniques of the GAs are designed to simulate
processes in natural systems necessary for evolution, specially those follow the
principles first laid down by Charles Darwin of "survival of the fittest.".
Since in nature, competition among individuals for scanty resources results in
the fittest individuals dominating over the weaker ones.
