Abstract

A new evolutionary model with hereditary model considered as correlated fluctuations of fertility has been proposed. It has been demonstrated that the model allows the global statistical properties of the system to be evaluated, e.g. the ensemble average and the probability of extinction. The results obtained show the increase of instability of a population with the enhancement of inheritance efficiency. The existence of at least an exponential stratification in the population has also been shown. Possible applications of the present model are discussed.
