This concise introduction offers students and researchers an overview of the discipline that connects genetics and evolution. Addressing the theories behind population genetics and relevant empirical evidence, John Gillespie discusses genetic drift, natural selection, nonrandom mating, quantitative genetics, and the evolutionary advantage of sex. First published to wide acclaim in 1998, this brilliant primer has been updated to include new sections on molecular evolution, genetic drift, genetic load, the stationary distribution, and two-locus dynamics. This book is indispensable for students working in a laboratory setting or studying free-ranging populations.

Some evidence for evolution must be prioritized, resulting in a profound new view of evolution. "...an essential must-read for students of science"

I am a retired professor of population genetics and I should like to keep myself in the mainstraim of population genetics. There are several recent good books on this topic, but they are quite expensive. Since much time I know the author as one of the best theoretician in population genetics, author of an excellent but hard to understand fully without serious efforts.
The present book is in principle destined to students and the author is supposed to make an effort to render accessible his teaching. In this course, some parts are really very classical and easy to understand - actually, it was what I taught to my own students of "DEUG and "Maîtrise" level. Of course, it was not that which I looked for in this book. For instance I was interested by the concept of "coalescence" which is too recent for I am aware of it during my time of activity. And indeed, it is quite well explained by Gillespie. Frankly speakig, when it comes to the field of which the author is a leading specialist (and which is more familiar to me), things become of more difficult access. But I must confess that I have probably been less hungry of these subjects.
This book will relly bring the students who use it to a high level and they will prepared to access to the most advanced developments of population genetics - provided that they make the necessary effort!

Great explanations, a little math heavy

April 17, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As a graduate student with some familiarity in population genetics, I found this an excellent review and guide to some more in-depth topics I had not yet thought of. However, sometimes the math was a bit heavy and seemed to weigh a chapter down. I appreciate a decent amount of math, but it was a bit hard to follow. Still, I think it's a useful resource and a very manageable length.

required reading for all future planners and social changers

The rare "textbook" which is readable by almost anyone. Uses only high school algebra and a smidgen of statistics, and explains things well enough you can ignore the math if you wish. If you are trying to "change the world" as is so popular now, you better have a grip on this stuff, or the change may be in the opposite direction of where you push.

Excellent literature and exscersice-guided learning of population genetics. Used it as main book for the class

Concise guide for sure, do not recommend for beginners in population genetics

September 23, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought it for a course I'm taking but this book is indeed a concise guide - not the whole picture. IF you're new to population genetics this is not the best book to start understanding it. As I soon discover, this area of biology has its own language and it is extremely hard for me to follow and understand their principles (math apart) just by reading this book. My professor seems to like the book a lot so I guess if you're not a beginner in pop genetics this is a good one.

Reliable. Book is really confusing, though, especially if your professors and TAs are worthless in class. I hope you're reading this, Ryan.
