These are augmented with case studies as wellas illustrations along with introductions to classicalhypotheses and debates. Pedagogical features in the text include: Interact boxes that guide readers step–by–step throughcomputer simulations using public domain software. Math boxes that fully explain mathematical derivations. Methods boxes that give insight into the use of actual geneticdata. Numerous Problem boxes are integrated into the text toreinforce concepts as they are encountered.
