Simulating population structure using island and stepping-stone models

We will now simulate population structure. Let's start with an island model and then create a one-dimensional stepping-stone model. We will study FST behavior on these models and distinguish between deme-level statistics and meta-population level statistics. Strictly speaking, we will simulate fragmentation models by splitting into islands or stepping-stones.
