'''Evolutionary systems''' are a type of system, which reproduce with mutation whereby the most fit elements survive, and the less fit die down.<ref>Rada, Roy. "Evolution and gradualness." BioSystems 14.2 (1981): 211-218.</ref>
One of the developers of the evolutionary systems thinking is Béla H. Bánáthy.

''Journal of Organisational Transformation & Social Change'' 1.1 (2004): 29-46.</ref> Evolutionary systems are characterized by "moving equilibria and the dynamics of coevolutionary interactions which can not be foreseen ex ante."<ref>Rammel, Christian, and Jeroen CJM van den Bergh.

The study of evolutionary systems is an important subcategory of Complex Systems research.
