Should be somewhere in The Origins of Order (as if that narrows anything down!) — keep in mind that I may not even have the original vocab correct, just the basic idea that recombination keeps a population from getting stuck in local minima. (Combined in my head with bacterial taxis: tumble while you're in a food-rich environment, pick a direction if not, and keep straight while gradient is increasing)
