Population Spread Simulator...

Population Spread Simulator...

I have a black and white heightmap image where rivers/ocean is black land is progressively whiter as it gets higher (as a heightmap does)

 

I want to be able to place a population, set it's fecundity rate, it's lifespan, generation length, rate of death of offspring before age of puberty, and death from pregnancy rate.

 

I then want this program to tell me how this species spreads across the map, divides into clans, and countries.

 

I want to be able to track a family line from begining to end and their associations.

 

And I need to do this through about 10,000 years. I would like to be able to track forward or backwards in time without it altering the results as well.

 

----------

 

Is there a program that does this?

How hard would this be to do?

Would anyone be willing to help me make this? 

 

Having to do these things manually is a real pain and having this would be extremely helpful. Obviously I don't do it to the extent I'm asking for but I'd like as much detail as possible to work with.

 

The main issues I see with this is the number of instances for the population which to get up to modern times, assuming a full world map would be around a billion at the end of the simulation... of course once it gets to that amount I don't think a billion individuals would be needed...
