Synopsis

This concise introduction offers students and researchers an overview of the discipline that connects genetics and evolution.

First published to wide acclaim in 1998, this brilliant primer has been updated to include new sections on molecular evolution, genetic drift, genetic load, the stationary distribution, and two-locus dynamics.
