This reminds me of a program that I had a play with some time ago, Framsticks. It uses genetic algorithms to 'evolve' both mind and body according to a user-definable fitness function (e.g. distance travelled). The virtual creatures can be modelled onscreen.
Some of the people who believe this is not a form of evolution might find this program helps to explain how it works. Seems like evolution to me. Just because in the article the body was pre-designed, doesn't mean the mind wasn't evolved.
