WHAT DOES DEMIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Demic diffusion

Demic diffusion is a demographic term referring to a migratory model, developed by Cavalli-Sforza, that consists of population diffusion into and across an area previously uninhabited by that group, possibly, but not necessarily, displacing, replacing, or intermixing with a pre-existing population. In its original formulation, the demic diffusion model includes three phases, namely: population growth, prompted by new available resources as in the case of early farmers, and/or other technological developments; a dispersal into regions with lower population density; a limited initial admixture with the people encountered in the process.
