Population genetics is a complicated subject; only a person of Gillespie's depth of knowledge and insight could simplify without distorting."" - James F. Crow, author of Genetics Notes ""The book is coherently and logically structured and covers all the most important and incontrovertible aspects of population genetics... I recommend this as a good introductory book that can be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses."" - Heredity ""A well-developed, thoughtful, and classic book that has been tested and improved through many years in the classroom...
