You can tell as it goes on they were struggling to keep it together, but thanks for sticking.
The way Michael and Gavin were talking about this game on Off Topic a while ago I was not expecting a good play pals. Our results present strong evidence that current climatic conditions and limits to group size are important processes shaping language diversity patterns in Australia. They can be some of the craziest events caught on camera, like that time a cockroach surprised one weatherman on-set and the video went viral, or that other. Michael's the roach killer, and Gavin's the roach in this infestation game: Cockroach Simulator. Remarkably, this simple model accurately predicted the total number of languages (average estimate 406, observed 407), and explained 56% of spatial variation in language richness on the Australian continent. Our model made three basic assumptions based on previously proposed, but untested, hypotheses: groups fill unoccupied spaces, rainfall limits population density and groups divide after reaching a maximum population.
We tested the extent to which a minimal set of processes determines the number and spatial distribution of languages on the Australian continent. Process-based simulation models allow investigators to hold certain factors constant in order to isolate and assess the impact of modelled processes. The Australian continent is used as a case study to demonstrate the power of simulation modelling for identifying processes shaping the diversity and distribution of human languages. Here we present the first application of process-based simulation modelling, derived from macroecology, to examine the distribution of human groups and their languages. Previous studies, which relied on correlative, curve-fitting approaches, have produced contradictory results. President Mitch Daniels and Jay Akridge, provost and executive vice president for.

Process-based simulation models allow investigators to hold certain factors constant in order to isolate and assess the impact of modelled processes. The fifth annual Distinguished and Named Professorship Ceremony on Thursday (Nov. Two fundamental questions about human language demand answers: why are so many languages spoken today and why is their geographical distribution so uneven? Although hypotheses have been proposed for centuries, the processes that determine patterns of linguistic and cultural diversity remain poorly understood.
