genetics: Add a "Credits" section
This page has been receiving a lot of attention after being posted to Reddit and Hacker News. As some people have pointed out, the idea of using genetic algorithms to approximate fine art has been done by many people. I am not trying to pass this idea off as my own, so I think it is necessary to clearly attribute my sources.
