The limited hunter-gatherer population size, especially for Neanderthals, makes such neglected noise possibly significant (i.e., significant genetic drift effects) for the single reference tribe and for the expected population dynamics when dealing with a finite size ensemble (i.e., a finite number of reference tribes).
