Thanks; I believe this is the research I heard about 9 months ago;
but everytime I tried to relocate the article that explained it, I
could never find it. (IIRC via an Economist article looking at Game
Theory and advances "going beyond game theory". Either that, or an
examination of "explaining why the native american-indians in X
valley died out, despite flourishing and maintaining several
population centres for many years". Not being able to remember the
name of the valley hasn't helped my search :).)

The article contained screenshots of the simulation program, with
one column per individual, and the y-axis charting their role over
time, and how it changed. If anyone comes across the article, I'd
appreciate a link, since I suspect it still makes a good
introduction to the research paper (although obviously the article
will now be considerably out of date in relation to the research).
