Time required for gene frequency change in a deterministic model of gene-culture coevolution, with special reference to the lactose absorption problem.

Abstract excerpt

The time required for gene frequency change under natural selection in a deterministic model of gene-culture coevolution is investigated. A discrete generations model is formulated, and its continuous time approximation is derived. In passing to the continuous time limit, it is assumed that the frequency of the culturally transmitted trait does not change under oblique (between generations) transmission. The...
