Figure 4

Change in cultural diversity (a) and average variant payoff (adaptation) (b) over 200 time steps as a function of the different parameter combinations (payoff bias, learner type and neighbourhood size). The number of agents in each neighbourhood is approximate (see “Method” section). Each population had 200 agents. Variant diversity was measured by the Gini-Simpson index of diversity (maximum for 200-agent populations = 0.995). Each line is the average of 10,000 simulations.
