Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive population genetics book has been revised and thoroughly updated. It extends basic genetic principles to the dynamics of genes and genotypes in groups of interbred individuals. Three points of view are taken: evolutionary, quantitative and medical-anthropological. Illustrative examples from the experimental literature are included, as well as end-of- chapter exercises in applying concepts and theory to data handling. New developments since 1976 are emphasised, for example, the impact of DNA sequencing on the field.;The previous edition of this book was published in 1977.
