The thought that evolution invariably brings about progress deserves consideration, especially in light of the use of optimizing models of its operation. An extremely interesting collection of papers on evolution and optimality affords a suitable point of departure. In The Latest on the Best (1987), for example, some who believe that evolution should be viewed as an optimizing process join issues with others who do not.
