Animal Generation Simulator

This program simulates an x amount of generations of an animal, according to that animal's breeding mechanics.

The number of organisms per generation is counted, producing a number pattern.

Examples of these number patterns are Fibonacci sequence for bees🐝 and powers of 2 for humans👶🏼.

Confused? It's actually quite simple. Let me ellaborate: You are a human...or a computer, but in such a case, biological generations would not apply to you, so human will be assumaed here. As a human, you have exacty two parents. This is a biological fact in the sense that it is required as part of the breeding mechanic of the human species, ie the parental requirements for a male of female human, is both a male and female parent (one of each).

This you will see represented in the Man and Woman implementations of IGender:

this.RequiredParents = new List<Type>
            {
                typeof(Woman),
                typeof(Man)
            };

One of the implications of this, is that if I count all of my parents, the number will always be 2. And if I count all of my grandparents, the number will always be 4. And their parents, will be 8, and so on. This is the same as (drumroll) 2^{{n}}!

But not all animals have two genders and two parents. As for my other example, bees. They have 3 genders, whom have different parental requirements. Here is an example from my Queen implementation of IGender:

this.RequiredParents = new List<Type>
            {
                typeof(Queen),
                typeof(Drone)
            };

The Queen also has two required genders, but 2/3 total genders for that species. As for the Drone gender, it as a peculuar parental requirement:

this.RequiredParents = new List<Type>
            {
                typeof(Queen)
            };

Only one parent! I leave the investigation into the remaining bee gender up to you. But the implication of the bee's different genders and gender mechanics, is of course that the number pattern resulting from counting their ancestors is different than ours. Theirs is in fact: {\displaystyle F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}}!

I got the idea for this progam, while reading "The Maths Book - Big Ideas Simply Explained".

To do: Mutilple ancestry "trees"*
