  1. FEPRE workshop 26-27 March 2007 Mathematical models of Neolithisation Joaquim Fort Univ. de Girona (Catalonia, Spain)

  2. FEPRE List of Participants • Kate Davison (Newcastle, UK) • Pavel Dolukhanov (Newcastle, UK) • Alexander Falileyev (Aberystwyth, UK) • Sergei Fedotov (Manchester, UK) • François Feugier (Newcastle, UK) • Joaquim Fort (Girona, Spain) • Neus Isern (Girona, Spain) • Janusz Kozlowski (Krakow, Poland) • Marc Vander Linden (Brussels, Belgium) • David Moss (Manchester, UK) • Joaquim Perez (Girona, Spain) • Nicola Place (Newcastle, UK) • Graeme Sarson (Newcastle, UK) • Anvar Shukurov (Newcastle, UK) • Ganna Zaitseva (St Petersburg, Russia)

  3. Diffusion time

  4. Diffusion A A J > 0 J < 0

  5. J = diffusion flux J < 0 J < 0 J = 0 time

  6. c c x x J = diffusion flux c = concentration = number particles / volume J < 0 J = 0

  7. c c x x Fick’s law

  8. c c c x x x time How can we find outc(x,t) ?

  9. J(x+x) ∆ J J(x) x N = number of particles in volume V Flux in 1 dimension: A J (x) J (x+x) V ∆x x

  10. How can we find outc(x,t) ? We can find outc(x,t) !

  11. · Flux in 1 dimension: · Flux in 2 dimensions: If there is a chemical reaction: For biological populations:

  12. Logistic growth: pmax= carrying capacity ? a = initial growth rate (of population number)

  13. 2 human populations:

  14. Fisher Eq: = jump distance T = intergeneration dispersal time interval Pre-industrial farmers (Majangir): < 2 > = (1544 ± 368 ) km2

  15. 1.0 ± 0.2 km/yr observed 1.4 km/yr predicted by Fisher’s Eq. !!

  16. 0.8 < vobserved < 1.2 km/yr Predictions from demic diffusion (Fisher's Eq.): 1 dimension (A & C-S 1973) 2 dimensions (F & M, PRL 1999)

  17. f(x+x) f(x) Time delays Up to now: (Fick’s law) →instantaneous ! Now: →time-delayed (Maxwell-Cattaneo Eq.)

  18. HRD Equation Up to now: Balance of mass: (Fisher’s Eq.) Now: (HRD Eq.=Hyperbolic reaction-diffusion)

  19. HRD Equation: For a biological population in 2 dims: Logistic reproduction:

  20. HRD Equation: = jump (or migration) distance T = time interval between the jumps of parents and those of their sons/daughters

  21. Relationship with Fisher’s equation (Fick’s law) <T > → 0 Eq. HRD: <T > → 0 (Fisher’s Eq.)

  22. (Fisher) <T > → 0

  23. Summary • Observed Neolithic speed: 1.0 km/yr • Fisher’s equation in 2D: 1.4 km/yr • HRD Eq: 1.0 km/yr • Difference: 40 % (F & M, Phys. Rev. Lett. 1999)

  24. Previous work by the Girona group • HRD Eq: F & M, Phys. Rev. Lett. 1999 • ∞ terms: F & M, Phys. Rev. E 1999 • Farmers + hunters: Phys. Rev.
