He wasn't enough of an Everyman to compete against the "Man from Abilene," Dwight Eisenhower, whose biographer played Ike's home town for all it was worth: "The lusty pioneer energies that built it had moved farther West, but they left behind a robust, independent settlement whose rugged population knew the value of hard work and took for granted the virtues of sturdy individualism".

The previous section showed that on rugged landscapes, population size and fitness landscape architecture strongly interact to influence the dynamics of adaptive trajectories.

The municipality covers an area the size of Scotland (much of it just as rugged), and its population is scattered over thousands of towns and villages straddling the Yangzi river.

Therefore, on rugged fitness landscapes small populations, owing to increased variability in the fitness effects of beneficial mutations that become substituted [22], may locate a more diverse set of adaptive peaks, and on occasion ascend higher adaptive peaks than large populations.

Whereas large populations showed parallel fitness gains (F10,36 = 1.90, P = 0.077), small populations explored the rugged adaptive landscape in different ways (F22,46 = 4.06, P<0.001) indicating that they have followed divergent adaptive trajectories.

In a manner consistent with our experimental results, a number of small populations on the rugged landscape, but not on the smooth landscape, obtain higher long-term fitness than even the most fit large populations.
