We consider an individual based model of phenotypic evolution in hermaphroditic populations which includes random and assortative mating of individuals. By increasing the number of individuals to infinity we obtain a nonlinear transport equation, which describes the evolution of distribution of phenotypic traits. Existence of an one-dimensional attractor is proved and the formula for the density of phenotypic traits in the limiting (asymptotic) population is derived in some particular case.
