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

Recent advances that allow scientists to quickly and accurately sequence a genome have revolutionized our view of the structure and function of genes as well as our understanding of evolution. A new era of genetics is underway, one that allows us to fully embrace Dobzhansky's famous statement that
