-Stop deceiving yourself until it's too late.
-Why did you comment out the type annotation?

*Sheepish Grin* its historical, my original thought and attempt was that you 
would recieve a list of populations and evolve it to a bigger list of 
populations. Hence the [a] -> [a]. It didnt work out too well as this is 
what I came up with:

gaSolSpace [x:xs] = gaSolutionSpace [x : evolePopulation x]

Eventually i realised that I needed to evolve a single population, not a 
list, which let to a -> [a] and thanks to Keith I now have this:

gaSolutionSpaceFrom :: a -> [a]
gaSolutionSpaceFrom = iterate evolvePopulation

Thanks
