Abstract :
In this paper the difference between two reproduction strategies of deliberate evolution is studied: partner selection and environment evaluation. The experiments conducted indicate that environment evaluation outperforms partner selection when timing of reproduction is important. When timing is not important, partner selection performs better than environment evaluation
