Evolutionary Capacitance
Evolutionary capacitance pertains to an organism’s ability to conceal genetic variations without immediate observable changes. When exposed to certain conditions, these hidden variations emerge, facilitating swift adaptation. This principle sheds light on rapid evolutionary responses and the underpinnings of species adaptability.

Adaptive Valley
The Adaptive Valley, central to evolutionary biology, represents a state of local optimum from which a population finds it difficult to evolve towards better fitness due to the interim lower fitness states. Mutations, genetic drift, and various evolutionary strategies aid this crossing, with applications extending to artificial intelligence and beyond.
