A stepping-stone model with site space a continuous, hierarchical
group is constructed via duality with a system of (delayed) coalescing
"stable" Lévy processes. This model can be understood as a continuum limit
of discrete state-space, two-allele, genetics models with hierarchically
structured resampling and migration. The existence of a process rescaling limit
on suitably related large space and time scales is established and interpreted
in terms of the dynamics of cluster formation. This paper was inspired by
recent work of Klenke.
