The book is sectioned into four parts. The first part, Genetics and the Scientific Method briefly review the History of genetics and the various methods used in genetic study. The second part focus on Mendelian inheritance, the third part deals with Molecular genetics and the last section deals with Quantitative genetics and Evolutionary ...
The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection is a book by Ronald Fisher which combines Mendelian genetics with Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, [1] with Fisher being the first to argue that "Mendelism therefore validates Darwinism" [2] and stating with regard to mutations that "The vast majority of large mutations are deleterious; small mutations are both far more frequent and more ...
For Genetics and the Origin of Species Dobzhansky was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences in 1941. [22] Sixty years after its publication, the National Academy of Sciences commissioned a book entitled Genetics and the Origin of Species: From Darwin to Molecular Biology 60 Years After Dobzhansky.

Genetic genealogy is the use of genealogical DNA tests, i.e., DNA profiling and DNA testing, in combination with traditional genealogical methods, to infer genetic relationships between individuals.
Who We Are and How We Got Here is a 2018 book on the contribution of genome-wide ancient DNA research to human population genetics by the geneticist David Reich.He describes discoveries made by his group and others, based on analysis and comparison of ancient and modern DNA from human populations around the world.
In terms of genetics, this is called an increase in allele frequency. Alleles become more or less common either by chance in a process called genetic drift or by natural selection . [ 13 ] In natural selection, if an allele makes it more likely for an organism to survive and reproduce, then over time this allele becomes more common.
