I've created a number of variations on this, including a black&white one which does a good job of Darwin.
The biggest improvement I've made is in limiting the size of the mutation. Now I have a 1 in 50 chance of executing your mutation code, else the changes are limited to within about 10% of their existing value. This gave me a very nice Velociraptor.
I'm also playing with triangles instead of polygons, but I'm impatient and trying to run them all simultaneously. Time to upgrade...
