Each of these answers could have amounted to a whole video, and might have to be that long to be adequately and accurately explained. But it would've been really boring too. Hopefully these are appropriately abbreviated.

Thank you for asking, SPACKlick.

  • Im not too sure on what you meant on the Bhagavad Gita part. Are you suggesting that the creation account of the Bhagavad Gita more accurately fits the available evidence we have?

  • Thank gawd for AronRa!

  • check out menvall blog

  • These specific vaguely specific vagueries show that this is not something Nature showed, but instead is a half baked model with projections.

    Most importantly, it would seem to be that we can know that studies in Biology do not , and are not actually required, to ascertain that a group meets the imagined standardized thresholds for "effective population", before calling it a "population".

  • @AronRa said: "Nature gave the English words setting these requirements ?"

    Nature didn't limit the expression of these requirements only to a single human language. Such acknowledgment can be paraphrased in many tongues."

    The paraphrasing you did reflects "effective pop.". , your "successfully reproducing pop."

    However at least 3 parameters have been shown to exist, for effective pop., though not agreed upon as to specifics...

    ...Variance, Inbreeding, and Allele Loss.

    

  • However, I found this to be more in depth and correct, and certainly not confirmation of what Aron Ra said previously

    " At least three different effective population sizes have been identified in literature: the inbreeding effective size, the variance effective size, and the effective size for random loss of alleles (L.Laikre & N.Ryman, Effects of intraspecific biodiversity from harvesting and enhancing natural populations, AMBIO 25(8), 1996)."

  • @Demonyk1 yes, that's about the size of it. it's a meaningless term as most often used.
