Evolution and the Genetics of Populations, Volume 2: Theory of Gene Frequencies"Wright's views about population genetics and evolution are so fundamental and so comprehensive that every serious student must examine these books firsthand. . . . Publication of this treatise is a major event in evolutionary biology."-Daniel L. Hartl, BioScience |
