Description A survey article presents an ordinary differential equations model of a populations community evolution and a difference equation model of allele frequency change. These models possess an analogical form, that is, genetics and ecology represents special cases of a more general theory; in particular, of evolutionary synthesis (neo-darwinism). This result illustrates a power of mathematics for description of life. The second part of article studies asymptotic properties of the equation.
