^IGenetics, Paleontology, and Macroevolution ^R describes the patterns and processes that lead to evolutionary changes of large magnitude. It outlines a strategy for the study of large-scale evolutionary processes and summarizes critically the work that has been done. The author integrates all evolutionary processes, from those on the molecular level to large-scale historical approaches taken by paleontologists, and relates systematics, developmental biology, population genetics, and paleontology.^LUnlike any other book on the subject of evolution, this treatise argues many points that form the basis of lively and unresolved discussions. Primarily intended for a graduate level course, this book will stimulate the thoughts of everyone interested in evolutionary biology and paleontology.

Book Description:
The study of macroevolution continues to offer profound insight into our understanding of the evolution of biological diversity. This expanded and updated second edition offers a comprehensive look at macroevolution. From a Neodarwininan viewpoint, it integrates evolutionary processes at all levels to explain animal diversity. It examines topics including genetics and speciation, development and evolution, the constructional and functional aspects of form, fossil lineages, systematics, and the Cambrian explosion. It delves into the age of molecular science, and integrates important recent findings. Researchers and graduate students will find this book a most comprehensive and up-to-date examination of macroevolution.
Review:
"There is much to admire in this book. Levinton writes well and demonstrates an impressive grasp of a large number of more or less subtle concepts." Nature "I would highly recommend this book..." Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology
