Why is rapid evolutionary change more likely to occur in small populations?

A few reasons...one is because, statisticaly, random flucuations are more likely in a small population, kind of like if you flip a coin twice, you might get 2 heads or 2 tails, but if you flip a coin 100 times, you'll probaly get something close to 50-50.
