Abstract In this project, a mathematical model to evaluate the probability of success for indigenous ancestors to survive was created. Using the mathematical model created, how the probability of success in survival depended on the key factors was elucidated. In this project, the following factors were considered; (a) unintentional migration (migration with mammoths and animals) or intentional (planned) migration, (b) the number of migrated people, (c) mortality, (d) fertility, (e) monogamy or polygamy, and (f) age of marriage.
