Best Answer

Probably the best documented example of the founder effect in action is the Galapagos Islands.

However the founder effect is seen much more commonly in mountainous regions. Mountains offer many various environmental settings which may cut populations apart. An excellent example of this are populations which cross onto the opposite side of a mountain range than the rest of their species. This is very frequently seen in birds.

Why is it possible that a majority of people may display a recessive trait?

A recessive trait can be masked by a dominant trait in individuals who are heterozygous.
