摘要: The classical wave-of-advance model of the neolithic transition (i.e., shift from hunter-gatherer toagricultural economies) is based on Fisher’s reaction-diffusion equation. Here we present an extensionof Einstein’s approach to Fickian diffusion, incorporating reaction terms. On this basis show thatsecond-order terms in equation, which have been neglected up now, are notin fact negligible but can lead important corrections. resulting time-delayed agrees quitewell with observations.
