Human-based genetic algorithm (HBGA) provides means for human-based recombination operation (a distinctive feature of [[genetic algorithmsalgorithm]]s). Recombination operator brings together highly fit parts of different solutions that evolved independently. This makes the evolutionary process more efficient. The HBGA methodology was derived in 1999-2000 from the analysis of [[http://3form.com Free Knowledge Exchange]] project that was launched in summer 1998 in Russia. Currently, several other projects implement the same model, the most popular is [[Yahoo! Answers]] launched in December 2005.
