Is there a difference between Genetic algorithms and evolutionary algorithms ? I have read multiple papers, talking about genetic or evolutionary algorithms, and while very similar, I think they may not be the same thing.

A:
A genetic algorithm is a class of evolutionary algorithm. Although genetic algorithms are the most frequently encountered type of evolutionary algorithm, there are other types, such as Evolution Strategy. So, evolutionary algorithms encompass genetic algorithms, and more.
