Is there a relationship between chaos theory and evolution? If so, how would you describe it?

It might be argued that chaos plays a role on the molecular level of replicating DNA which produces the evolutionary changes in a species.

However, there is nothing chaotic about why a particular species continues to survive when these evolutionary changes make it more adaptive to its environment.

I don't see a connection with the rise and fall of civilizations - these events usually take place in a relatively short period where as evolution is a long, drawn out process.

Chaos theory can explain lots of things such as natural phenomena but does not explain things like creation.

Chaos theory eventually results in order - whether that order is beneficial or destructive remains to be determined.

Chaos cannot give rise to order ... both theorys are totally un- scientific ...
