I've read a couple of introductory sections of books as well as a few papers on both topics, and it looks to me that these two methods are pretty much exactly the same. That said, I haven't had the...

What is evolutionary computation? Is it a method of reinforcement learning? Or a separate method of machine learning? Or maybe none? Please, cite references used to answer this question.
