dc.description.abstract
The classical wave-of-advance model is based on
Fisher's equation. However, this approach leads to an
unbounded wave-of-advance speed at high reproduction rates.
In contrast, an integro-difference model leads to a finite upper
bound for the speed, namely the maximum dispersal distance
divided by the generation time. Intuitively, this is a very
reasonable result. This demic model has been generalized to
include cultural transmission (Fort, PNAS 2012). We apply this
recent demic-cultural model to determine the percentages of
demic and cultural diffusion in the Neolithic transition for two
case studies: (i) Europe, and (ii) southern Africa (Jerardino et
al., submitted 2014). The similarities and differences between
both case studies are interpreted in terms of the three
mechanisms at work (population reproduction, dispersal and
acculturation)
