Evolutionary Genetics

Interest in the study of evolution, particularly the population genetic and molecular aspects, has been very marked in recent years and is likely to continue, engendered to a considerable extent by the remarkable advances in knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of inheritance. Although this book is intended primarily for advanced undergraduates in the biological sciences, the scope and style of its treatment make it a very suitable source of evolutionary enlightenment for any potential reader with the necessary background knowledge to understand its contents. Professor Maynard Smith assumes in readers some basic knowledge of classical genetics and elementary algebra, the meaning of differentiation in calculus, and some basic probability and Other CABI sites 
