This course has been designed to introduce you to a field of programming you might have never been exposed to. In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start working with genetic algorithms. As you work through the course, you’ll build a framework for problems using genetic algorithms. By the end, you’ll have a full-featured, customizable framework complete with statistics, genealogy tracking, and more, and you’ll have learned everything you need to solve practical problems with genetic algorithms.

Genetic Algorithms in Elixir

## The tiger evolution framework

In the [previous chapter](https://www.educative.io/courses/genetic-algorithms-elixir/using-genetic-algorithms-to-simulate-evolution), we fully integrated some basic tracking mechanisms into our genetic algorithm framework. These mechanisms allowed us to track statistics on age, fitness, and pretty much any other aspect of our genetic algorithm. We also created a mechanism for tracking the genealogy of your evolution.


> **Remember**: Genealogy is a family tree of the entire evolution.

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to export the genealogy tree and visualize it using a third-party tool. To do this, first, start by opening 
 `tiger_simulation.exs`. At the moment, it looks like this:
