Fig. 1: Overview of the model and its network structure.
A Network structure of Bluet et al. (2022) model. In this model, a single transmission chain is run. At each generation, a new individual is introduced in the model. This individual inherits the technology from its predecessor and learn from them. B Network structure of the model presented here. The model is composed of NC chains, akin to population size. At each generation, NC individual is created and inherits the technology from their direct predecessor. Then, they learn from one of any individuals in the past generation. C Model workflow. A population was created, replacing the previous one and inheriting their technology. Each individual from this generation learned from a single individual in the previous generation. Then, individuals modified their inherited technology. Under a certain probability and criteria, individuals innovate, bringing new traits to the technology (in this case, addition of feather to the arrow). This process is then repeated for NG generation.
