Genetics, Paleontology and Macroevolution

Genetics, Paleontology, & Macroevolution describes the patterns & processes that lead to evolutionary changes of large magnitude. It outlines a strategy for the study of large-scale evolutionary processes & summarizes critically the work that has been done. The author integrates all evolutionary processes, from those on the molecular level to large-scale historical approaches taken by paleontologists, & relates systematics, developmental biology, population genetics, & paleontology. Unlike any other book on the subject of evolution, this treatise argues many points that form the basis of lively & unresolved discussions. Primarily intended for a graduate level course, this book will stimulate the thoughts of everyone interested in evolutionary biology & paleontology.Levinton, Jeffrey S. is the author of 'Genetics, Paleontology and Macroevolution' with ISBN 9780521249331 and ISBN 0521249333.
