Abstract: We present a stochastic evolutionary model obtained through a perturbation of Kauffman's maximally rugged model, which is recovered as a special case. Our main results are: (i) existence of a percolation-like phase transition in the finite phase space case; (ii) existence of non self-averaging effects in the thermodynamic limit. Lack of self-averaging emerges from a fragmentation of the space of all possible evolutions, analogous to that of a geometrically broken object. Thus the model turns out to be exactly solvable in the thermodynamic limit.
