Two mechanisms are commonly invoked to explain geographic gradients in gene frequencies (clines): gene flow and natural selection. Thus gene frequency clines in Europe have been attributed to gene flow because expanding Neolithic farmers from the Near East spread and absorbed resident foragers, a process Cavalli-Sforza and his colleagues labeled demic diffusion. Alternatively, gradients in natural selection can produce the same genetic pattern. A third mechanism to explain European clines has recently been proposed by Barbujani et al. (1995). They found that European allele frequencies were consistent with distributions generated by a simple model of total replacement of foragers by expanding farmers. Clines were produced by repeated founde...
