An elegant introduction to population genetics Written in the context of new molecular techniques for genetic analysis, Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory takes a modern approach to population genetics, incorporating today?s molecular biology, species–level evolutionary biology, and a thorough acknowledgment of quantitative genetics as the theoretical basis for population genetics. Logically organized into three main sections—population structure and history, genotype/phenotype, and selection/adaptation—the text stresses a multidimensionalmodel of evolution throughout, examining how multiple factors working together lead to biological phenomena. Three simple premises of DNA behavior are used to derive population genetics theory, and quantitative genetics is discussed as a foundation for understanding natural selection. Real examplesillustrate concepts, with many examples taken from human genetics and evolution. Population...
