> evolution doesn’t ‘invent’ anything

Really? I think it kind of does invent. Trial and error. Back propagation. Mutation. Some randomness at conception. Sure it's a personification, but not a bad one.

Evolution doesn't do back propagation.

The evolutionary fitness of a particular adaptation helps spread the genes that causes the adaptation. I think backpropagation is a very apt description for that phenomenon

That's propagation.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

There is zero science to back that up, natural selection ≠ evolution.
