Abstract
The article examines various computer simulations of biological and evolutionary systems. The simulations address the question of whether there is an evolutionary advantage of sexual over asexual reproduction. Other areas addressed by such simulations include mutation rates, biological aging of men and women and reasons for menopause in women.
