“ADAPTATION can be defined as the heritable change in the traits of a system in order to maintain or improve fitness within novel environments. Evolvability is the propensity for a system to discover adaptations (= heritable beneficial phenotypes). Thus the ability to discover distinct heritable phenotypes and the ability to transform novel traits into useful innovations during development within a particular environment are essential elements of adaptation.”
