Abstract

Cultural transmission of reproductive success has been observed in many human populations as well as other animals. Cultural transmission of reproductive success consists of a positive correlation of nongenetic origin between the progeny size of parents and children. This correlation can result from various factors, such as the social influence of parents on their children, the increase of children’s survival through allocare from uncles and aunts, or the transmission of resources. Here, we study the evolution of genomic diversity over time under cultural transmission of reproductive success. Cultural transmission of reproductive success has a threefold impact on population genetics: (1) the effective population size decreases when cultural transmission of reproductive success starts, mimicking a population contraction, and increases back to its original value when cultural transmission of reproductive success stops; (2) coalescent tree topologies are distorted under cultural transmission of reproductive success, with higher imbalance and a higher number of polytomies; and (3) branch lengths are reduced nonhomogenously, with a higher impact on older branches. Under long-lasting cultural transmission of reproductive success, the effective population size stabilizes but the distortion of tree topology and the nonhomogenous branch length reduction remain, yielding U-shaped site frequency spectra under a constant population size. We show that this yields a bias in site frequency spectra-based demographic inference. Considering that cultural transmission of reproductive success was detected in numerous human and animal populations worldwide, one should be cautious because inferring population past histories from genomic data can be biased by this cultural process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
