The demographic impact of slave trade on Africas population is examined. The authors present a simulation model which facilitates the systematic application of both demographic principles and historical data to study of populations influenced by slavery and slave trade....[The] simulation performs an aggregate analysis (appropriate to regional and continental levels rather than local levels) and it performs a long-run analysis (appropriate to decades and generations rather than an individual year). The result is an analysis of average or generality of slave trades impact rather than of its individual outcomes or its extremes. They conclude that the Export slave trade reversed African population growth from 1730 to 1850 that population fell by 3 to 7 million from a base of some 25 million in 1730 and that population of adult women exceeded that of adult men by 15 to 20 percent throughout region during that century.
