The relative contribution of four ancestors from a population of N = 1000, plotted against time. This is defined as the number of pedigree descendants, divided by 2t. The top and bottom sets of points show the ancestors with highest and lowest reproductive value, respectively; the two intermediate sets are randomly chosen individuals. Note that the distribution of v has mean and variance equal to one.
