Motoo Kimura, as founder of the neutral theory, is uniquely placed
to write this book. He first proposed the theory in 1968 to explain
the unexpectedly high rate of evolutionary change and very large
amount of intraspecific variability at the molecular level that had
been uncovered by new techniques in molecular biology. The theory -
which asserts that the great majority of evolutionary changes at
the molecular level are caused not by Darwinian selection but by
random drift of selectively neutral mutants - has caused
controversy ever since. This book is the first comprehensive
treatment of this subject and the author synthesises a wealth of
material - ranging from a historical perspective, through recent
molecular discoveries, to sophisticated mathematical arguments -
all presented in a most lucid manner.
