Description: Estimates the history of hybrid populations from
        diagnostic markers, with or without a genetic map: the average
        age of the hybrids, how long ago the rarer species' ancestry
        entered, the number of backcrosses, and whether pure animals of
        the rarer species are still arriving. Population samples of
        hybrid index and interspecies heterozygosity, as defined by
        Fitzpatrick (2012) <doi:10.1186/1471-2148-12-131>, are compared
        with forward simulations that include drift, small breeding
        groups, sibling mating and separate breeding pools, so that
        inbreeding is not mistaken for age. Estimates come from
        'Cubist' models with split-conformal intervals. Recent hybrids
        are also classified individually, and the number of markers
        needed to detect backcrossed hybrids follows Boecklen and
        Howard (1997)
