It sounds like what you're really trying to do is write out some  
statistics about your genome.  Fitness objects don't have anything to  
do with this -- instead, the genome is handled in the Individual  
itself.  Different representations of Individuals have different kinds  
of genomes.  For example, FloatVectorIndividual holds a genome  
consisting of an array of floats.

Additionally, finalStatistics is called only once, at the end of an  
evolutionary run.  It's not per-individual.  I presume you're trying  
to report stuff on each Individual in the population say.  In this  
case, you could make a finalStatistics which does this:

	For each subpopulation in the population
		For each individual in the subpopulation
			Cast the individual into the type I'm using
			Grab genome information out of that individual and do stuff with it
