Gene swamping is essentially the extinction of a smaller population by a larger population. The larger population (humans, animals, plants -- anything living and reproducing) overwhelms the smaller population, genetically absorbing it. It is an anthropological/biological term, but has been applied to other situations as well, such as the gene swamping of tri-racial isolate communities. For an excellent description/discussion of gene swamping, check out UIC's (Univesity of Illinois Chicago) web site on conservation genetics. Under "Classes, BIOS 101" they have an excellent PowerPoint presentation that explains it better than I can. http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios101/consgenetmurray.PPT.
