Summary:Evolutionary computation is a rapidly expanding field of research with a long history. Much of that history remains unknown to most practitioners and researchers. This two-part article offers a review of selected foundational efforts in evolutionary computation, with a focus on those that have not received commensurate attention. Part I presented an initial overview of the essential components of evolutionary algorithms followed by a review of early research in artificial life and modeling genetic systems. Here, Part II reviews seminal results in evolving programs and evolvable hardware. Comments on theoretical developments and future developments conclude Part II.
