The Founder Selection Effect:
``The founders may represent a non-random sample of the
original population. This is very likely to be true
when the founders have succeeded in penetrating a
challenging barrier which normally acts to prevent migration.
In that case the founders may be individuals with
exceptional capabilities - since they penetrated the
barrier before any of the other members of their species
managed to do so.''
