Difference between genetic and evolutionary algorithms?

Genetic algorithms use crossover (hence the 'gene' in their name) and mutation to search the space of possible solutions.

Evolutionary programming uses primarily mutation.

As posted already, both are types of evolutionary algorithms. So, evolutionary algorithms encompass genetic algorithms, and more.
