Evolution: optimization done by selection, result is the DNA, that does amazing (we can't match that with traditional programming) things but it's bloody hard to decipher.

Neural network: created via training, does amazing things but (this is the area my knowledge is too small) it's bloody hard to decipher why is it doing the thing it does.

"Traditional" programming: you can (as in article) explain it down to the single most basic unit.
