of expensive comparisons in the linearithmic phase as much as possible by
substituting inexpensive comparisons. In Java, the two system sorts are
dual-pivot quicksort (for primitives) & Timsort for objects. We demonstrate
that a combination of these two algs. can run sig. faster than either alg.

throughout the animal kingdom. Consequently, animal diversity might largely
rely on the differential use of the same components, either at the individual

level, through their participation in various genetic networks. Here, we
argue that this inevitably leads to an increase in the interdependency
between fns that, in turn, influences the degree to which novel variations
can be tolerated. In this 'transitionist' scheme, evolution is neither
inherently gradualist nor punctuated but, instead, progresses from one
extreme to the other, together with the increased complexity of organisms."
