The Red Queen theory is based on a reference to Lewis Carrol's book through the looking glass. The red queen has to run just to stay in place and to move she has to run twice as fast, this is metaphor for species reproduction and the statement Survival of the fittest. Each new generation takes the best chromosomes and adapts them to their own, making for improvements.

The Red Queen theory refers to the idea that in Biology and evolution, organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive and reproduce in a changing environment. The term comes from Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking-Glass," where the Red Queen tells Alice, "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." In essence, organisms must keep evolving just to maintain their current level of fitness relative to other evolving organisms in their environment.
