Conclusion
The European and southern African Neolithic spread are the two first examples in which the percentages of demic and cultural diffusion have been determined. Another interesting example could be the Bantu expansion of farming in Africa (Russell et al.
2014). Many other examples could be studied, provided of course that there were enough data were available to perform statistically sound estimations of the observed speed range. Potential applications include not only Neolithic transitions but also many other spread phenomena of cultural traits, such as the spread of horses in North America (Haines 1938), crop dispersals (Dickau et al. 2007), etc.Acknowledgment This work was funded in part by ICREA (JF and AJ) and the MINECO grants SimulPast-CSD2010-00034 (all authors) and FIS-2012-31307 (JF and NI). The authors are very thankful to John Kinahan, Jayson Orton, Thembi Russell, Karim Sadr, and Lita Webley for providing useful bibliography.
