An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory James F. Crow, Motoo Kimura
Publisher:

The fourth major figure in theoretical population genetics, Motoo Kimura, was originally a physicist. I was in the Bibliotèque the other day and I heard a couple chatting. Gillespie doesn't treat the history of population genetics himself, but finding and reading these papers — not all, unfortunately, freely available online — gives a good feel for how the theory was developed. At first I thought, "Who are these people, it's a bibliotèque, don't they know you're supposed to be quiet? An Introduction to Tree Diagrams. There's some mention of outstanding Note: This second edition has "grown by about 20 percent the introduction of more material on stochastic processes in evolution, a new section on genetic load theory, and a new chapter on two-locus theory. The K/θ method differs from most previous species criteria in two ways: it is explicitly based on population genetic theory, and it recognizes that species delimitation is based on samples of individuals. One of the most general and basic features of the biological world is that it is discontinuous, divided up into clusters of individual organisms that are very similar to each other and very different from individuals in other clusters. If two groups In fact, linguistics is such a reliable indicator of shared history that some archaeologists and other non-linguists use language families (more about these later) as hooks on which to hang their theories - 'Austronesian' migration into southeast Asia with rice farming, etc. Although both Armenians and Azeris are linguistically related to populations outside the Caucasus (Indo-European and Turkic, respectively), genetic studies indicate that both groups are more closely related genetically to their geographic .. The K=2 at the bottom means that this plot was generated Now we have K=3, so three theoretical parent populations. The idea behind this software is that you input the genetic data for a group of people, and the program determines the relative contribution of hypothetical “parent” populations to each individual's genome. Let's look at some examples: Click to enlarge. (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1996). Anyone with a serious interest in the math of evolutionary genetics should probably track down Crow and Kimura's “An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory” (ISBN 1-93284-612-3). The reason historical linguistics is so important is because it is a well-established population science, meaning that we can infer historical relationships and activities from linguistic data.
