The story of our evolutionary past is told in our genome sequence. Human Gene Evolution deals with the origins of human genes, describes their structure, function, organisation and expression. The text integrates our emerging knowledge of chromosome and genome structure, and discusses the nature of
This book challenges the assumption that morphological data are inherently unsuitable for phylogeny reconstruction, argues that both molecular and morphological phylogenies should play a major role in systematics, and provides the most comprehensive review of the comparative anatomy, homologies and
This book considers evolution at different scales: sequences, genes, gene families, organelles, genomes and species. The focus is on the mathematical and computational tools and concepts, which form an essential basis of evolutionary studies, indicate their limitations, and give them orientation. Re
In the early days of the study of evolution the evidence was primatily empirical. There was no underlying theory or undestanding of how changes came about. It is amazing to me that Darwin and Wallace were able to integrate their findings into a generalized theory that has stood the test of time so w
