Abstract
We introduce a new type of renormalization group for the critical dyna mics of a recently proposed model for biological evolution. The method is suited to deal with the combined effects of quenched disorder and irreversible dynamics. This allows to understand the self-organized na ture of the process, analyze its universality and compute the critical exponents which are in good agreement with the values of the simulati ons.
