Breeding two parents from the Main Page

- - to create 12 new offspring

Here I have taken two images from past runs (they are shown on the main page in their order) that have nothing in common with each other
but of course are related (as all these portrait programs are). I can now breed them together, so now there is no resemblance to Darwin's
Portrait fitness function. We are simply breeding these two programs to create new offspring (via crossover and mutation). This is nothing like
morphing or anything you can do in Photoshop. We are breeding programs here, and like human genes, they have a full collection of "genes"
and dominant and recessive traits. We may see for instance, visual traits that are not apparent in either of them but may be familiar from other
portraits since they are their great grandfathers, aunts and uncles. I purposely took two that were different from each other and it was hard for
me to imagine how they would breed. - DiPaola

so breeding the top two gives us (some are siblings, some are siblings of siblings)

You can imagine the endless directions and combinations since these came from only two portraits programs
out of all the examples on the main page (and those still evolving towards Mr. D).
