How mathematical and computational theories and models in the natural sciences evolve over time

There are significant analogies between the processes of Darwinian biological evolution and the evolution of physical/chemical theories and/or models over time. Evolutionary genealogical, hierarchical, and/or flowchart diagrams of the development of various fields of knowledge have been created and analysed using AI methods. For example, the structure of evolutionary trees characterizing molecular modelling methods can be examined. This is particularly useful when entering a new field of research. This type of analysis can also prove effective in teaching, as it allows for more effective transfer of knowledge to students.
