16. Note that these equations are very similar to those considered in Ref. [12, Section 5]. The differences are the appearance of new terms with the temporal derivatives of the additional species in the right-hand side, and of terms due to the interaction in the left-hand side. All of these changes come from taking into account the interaction terms from 'first principles', i.e. in the balance equations for number densities, Eqs. (1) and (3), which was not done in Ref. [12]. Instead, there a single interaction term was added by hand to the final evolution equation in a phenomenological, and therefore less rigorous, way.

23. Three different and completely independent examples (number of sites in the Lower Diyala region, in the Warke region and settlement area at the site of Knossos) yield values in the range 1-6% (the precise values are 5.5%, 5% and 1.5%, respectively). See A. Ammermann, L.L. Cavalli-Sforza, D.K. Wagener, in: E.B.W. Zubrow (Ed.), Demographic Anthropology. Quantitative Approaches, School of American Research, Santa Fe, 1976, pp. 36 and 48. A less precise value of about 1% has been also estimated from an additional example (number of houses in the Aldehoven Platte) by Ammermman and Cavalli-Sforza in [11], pp. 73-74.
