It's interesting how I got:

0 Cicebi Bicedi 206.20

1 Cibebi Dibodi 208.03

4 Cobebi Bibedi 208.54

6 Cobebi Bobedi 208.68

8 Cocebi Boaedi 209.53

14 Cocibi Boaedi 310.47

20 Cocebi Boaedi 312.73

36 Cocebi Boaedi 312.85

38 Cocebi Biaedi 312.89

40 Cocebi Bobedi 314.06

58 Cocebi Bobedi 417.71

119 Cicebi Bibodi 522.37

331 Cicebi Bibuei 624.26

And at ~500 generations the champions are still the same 3. I have fiddled with the parameters several times to no avail. I've tried very little mutation probability (1-5%) with low mutation amount (1-10%) but also 75-100 mut. prob with 1-5% mutation amount and any figures in between and nothing seems to make it go out of the local minima.

Is there any way to get out of this? or when this happens in nature the species simply goes extinct or gets eaten by everyone else?

Ah.. seems like I finally got out of it at gen ~530 by changing the amount of champions to copy to increase the amount of gene variation in the pool.

I guess it kinda stuck into an inbreeding sort of loop.
