Abstract
Some benefits of a dialogue between evolutionary robotics and developmental ethology are presented with discussion of how developmental models might inform approaches to evolution. Notions of the importance of historical processes in adaptation are outlined and parallels between evolution and ontogeny as sources of change examined.
