I was referring to the biological evolution of humans; in your link, the process appears to have been designed with the Turing test in mind.

There's probably going to be a lot of guesswork as for as what metrics for "more likely to pass" are best, but the process doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough to generate intelligence. Obvious places to start would be complex games such as Go and poker, and replicating aspects of human evolution, such as simulating hunting and social maneuvering.

Ok. When I said "you," I meant modern humans operating on modern programming languages. I also don't think it's quite correct to equate actual historical evolution and genetic algorithms, for somewhat subtle technical reasons.
