We describe two types of experimental evolution studies of “mismatch” that
are relevant to economics. “Evolutionary mismatch” is the concept that an organism
can be importantly “out of sync” with its environment. In such cases, an organism may
choose an option that is inferior to a feasible alternative. Mainstream and behavioral
economics do not address the notion of evolutionary mismatch. We argue for an
empirical program on mismatch utilizing the methodology of experimental evolution.
