Synopsis
A brief introduction to the field of population genetics, this text offers students and researchers an overview of the discipline. Chapter topics include: genetic drift; natural selection; non-random mating; quantitative genetics; and the evolutionary advantage of sex. While each chapter treats a specific topic or problem in genetics, the common thread throughout the book is the question "Why is there so much genetic variation in natural populations?".
