Abstract: We present a computational model to reconstruct trees of ancestors for animals with sexual reproduction. Through a recursive algorithm combined with a random number generator, it is possible to reproduce the number of ancestors for each generation and use it to constraint the maximum number of the following generation. This new model allows to consider the reproductive preferences of particular species and combine several trees to simulate the behavior of a population. It is also possible to obtain a description analytically, considering the simulation as a theoretical stochastic process. Such process can be generalized in order to use an algorithm associated with it to simulate other similar processes of stochastic nature. The simulation is based in the theoretical model previously presented before.
