SIMULATION OF SMALL HUMAN POPULATIONS

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes a simulation program for the study of human populations, comparing and contrasting its various facets with other programs that have similar objectives. It presents some results simulations, together theoretical discussion their importance. The model simulating small populations has been implemented. discusses effect marriage systems on drift.

Increasing population size decreasing probability reduces degenerating, such showed
