Purpose:
To study some concepts and theories of evolution.

Instructions:
	1. Run program
	2. Type 'Q' to quit

Notes:
This is an embryonic version of an evolution simulation program that
I would like to develop.

This version has a single hard coded species.  Each individual has a
sex (male or female) and has a survivability coeficient which is the
average of the survivability they received from their mother and
from their father.  Each individual passes one of these survivabilities
(either their mothers or fathers) to each of their children.

There is a certain chance each turn that an individual will be killed
based on their survivability coeficient.

Also each individual moves from child to adult to senior citizen.
When a female adult comes into contact with a male adult there is a
certain chance they will reproduce based on how similar their
survivabilities are.  (The greater the similarity, the greater the
chance)

On the bottom there are two graphs.  The one on the left shows the
population size (green) and the average survivability of the population
(majenta).  The plot on the right is a histogram of the survivabilities
(Left is low, Right is high)
