An organism is a container for a genome and a brain along with methods to produce offspring and track lineage.

Organism Variables:

• ID - a unique identifier
• dataMap - a DataMap used to store data for output
• timeOfBrith and timeOfDeath
• alive - is this organism currently alive
• ancestors - list of the IDs of organisms in the last intervals data files who are ancestors of this organism
• parents - a list of pointers to this organism's parent(s)

Organism interface

shared_ptr<Organism> makeMutatedOffspringFrom(shared_ptr<Organism> parent)

creates an new organism by copying the parents genome and then applying mutations.

shared_ptr<Organism> makeMutatedOffspringFromMany(vector<shared_ptr<Organism>> from)

creates a new organism by combining features from the parents and applying mutations.
