This textbook is intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in genetics and population biology. It examines the basic tenets of population genetics and expands into more detailed and complex features of the field. Topics include: models of population growth, randomly mating populations, inbreeding, the correlation between relatives and assertive mating, properties of a finite population, distribution of gene frequencies in populations, and stochastic properties in the change of gene frequencies. An appendix includes some of the statistical and mathematical methods typically used in population genetics. Authors are Crow (U. of Wisconsin) and Kimura (National Institute of Genetics, deceased) This is a paper-bound reprint of a 1970 book originally published by Harper and Row and Pearson Education.
