  ni <- Niche(chromosomes = newRandomCollection(cr, 10))
  wo <- World(niches=newRandomCollection(ni,2))

  ga <- Galgo(populations=newRandomCollection(wo,1), goalFitness = 0.75, callBackFunc=plot,
              fitnessFunc=function(chr, parent) 5/sd(as.numeric(chr)))

  ga2 <- clone(ga)
  evolve(ga)
  evolve(ga2)
  ga3 <- clone(ga)
  evolve(ga3) # really nothing, everything already done
