If Beta has a 0.1 percent survivability advantage over Alpha, then after one generation,
Alpha’s probability of survival is
1 – 0.001   0.999
P
n

After n generations, Alpha’s population relative to Beta is r .

After 5000 generations, with a survival probability of 0.999, the relative population will
be
0.9995000  0.0067

Hence, the Alpha relative population after 5000 generations is 0.0067 .
