Founder Effect

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party, and a small group of people leaves early to start an after-party at a different location. This situation is similar to the founder effect in biology, where a small subset of a population migrates to a new area, altering the genetic diversity of that new group. Just like how the early leavers might change the vibe and music choices at the new party because their preferences dominate, the small migrating population can significantly influence the gene pool of the new area, potentially leading to a different genetic makeup compared to the original larger group.
