File talk:Founder effect with drift.jpg

=Hue must be joking= Red/Green is the most common form of color-blindness, and there's nothing but hue to contrast the two colors in this image. I simply can't see a difference. How about a value adjustment, like this? I'm not sure how to upload it to wiki myself, but some food for thought. 58.169.151.88 (talk) 17:01, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

This is a very good page and a figure like this helps a lot. Also, I understand that the random selection process is Markovian, and that the fact that in this particular graphic example the reds start out with a 2-to-8 disadvantage does not mean that their eventual fixation is impossible. But it is a bit improbable, at least relative to the fixation of green, and I am wondering whether the author might want to introduce a sentence or two to this effect, e.g. "Red has only a 0.2 proportion in the founder population. But the much smaller size of the founder population relative to the parent population makes the stochastic sequence illustrated here -- eventual fixation of red -- more probable than the same outcome in the original, large population."
