Figure 1. — How religious defections influence social and genetic evolution. The diagrams refer to an ultra-high-fertility religious group. (a) Share of believers; (b) share of allele R. A high defection rate reduces the eventual share of religious believers (group r) in the population. Whatever the defection rate, the religiosity allele R eventually tends to fixation. The diagram assumes: both variants: c_r/c_n = 3.0; p_R^r (0)=0.005, p^r_N (0)=0, p_Rⁿ (0)=0, p_Nⁿ (0)=0.995; low defection: s_R^r=0.05, s_N^r=0.07, s_Rⁿ=0, s_Nⁿ=0; high defection: s_R^r=0.5, s_N^r=0.07, s_R_n=0, s_Nⁿ=0. Line without diamonds, low defection; Line with diamonds, high defection.
