Gillespie makes sense.
|
Theodosius Dobzhansky said, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."
Mike Lynch at Indiana University added, "Nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of population genetics." (PNAS)
If such is the case, Gillespie's book is an essential guide and workbook through the foundation of biology in terms of mathematics and probability.
1.) The book flows. It begins with the basics of Hardy-Weinberg, and makes the mathematics of population genetics easy by building on the basics slowly through the book's chapters. Important mathematical background is addressed in the appendices.
2.) Each chapter has questions at the end to help crystallize the material.
3.) Examples from the scientific literature are used judiciously.
4.) Lucid explanation of genetic drift, the coalescent, and neutral theory are all provided.
I have nothing but the highest praise for this classic.
