Evolutionary Genetics

About this book

Classic textbook on evolution and population genetics. Updated throughout, the chapter on phenotypic evolution incorporates new research into game theory and the discussions of sex and host-parasite interactions have been extensively revised. It also now includes a completely new chapter on molecular genetics and the reconstruction of evolutionary history.
