Evolution is the heuristic search for effective neural architectures. It is training data, but for the meta-search for effective architectures, which gets encoded in our DNA.
Then we compile and run that source code and our individual lived experience is the training data for the instantiation of that architecture, e.g. our brain.
It's two different but interrelated training/optimization processes.
