In a separate review paper ("Re-inventing Willis," arXiv physics/0601192 v3, published as Physics Reports 502), Simkin and Roychowdhury independently re-derive Kimura and Crow's 1964 allele-distribution problem from scratch and check it against Sewall Wright's 1931 result

Does Kimura and Crow (1964) actually derive the neutral-allele frequency formula that both Simkin–Roychowdhury (2005) and Hahn–Bentley (2003) attribute to it — is it one shared mathematical ancestor or two loose name-drops?
