We investigate the phenomenon of numerical evolutionary acceleration. This phenomenon is a simple consequence of numerical analysis of the probabilities of evolving independent parts of a complex system in the presence of evolutionary epochs. The epoch mechanism allows the newly evolved structure to become part of the overall system design of all elements of the population. We demonstrate that this phenomenon not only exists in real evolving systems, but that evolutionary acceleration dwarfs the group mechanism for some complex structures.
