Das moderne Modell der Populationsgenetik, das von Loci mit mehr als zwei Allelen ausgeht, ist komplex und von hohem mathematischen Schwierigkeitsgrad, so daß sich meist nicht Biologen, sondern Mathematiker damit befassen. Der Autor dieses Buches zeigt jedoch, wie die Grundgedanken der Populationsgenetik auch in jeder einführenden Vorlesungsreihe für Biologen verständlich und eingängig diskutiert werden können.
