1	Human Biological Variation more books like this by James H Mielke, Lyle W Konigsberg, John H Relethford add to wishlist The text explores human biological variation in its broadest sense from the molecular to the physiological and morphological. The main emphasis is on the microevolutionary analysis of genetic variation among recent human populations. The book is designed for an upper-level undergraduate class, but it would also work well as supplemental or ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $43.64!
2	Probability Models for DNA Sequence Evolution more books like this by Richard Durrett add to wishlist Our basic question is: given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce and analyze a number of probability models: the Wright-Fisher model, the coalescent, the infinite alleles model, and the infinite sites model. We study the complications ... see all copies from $32.46! new only from $32.46! \| SVS

4	Biometrical Genetics: The Study of Continuous Variation more books like this by Kenneth Mather add to wishlist In this revised and extended edition the authors have emphasized the ways in which the methods of biometrical genetics can be used to gain a greater understanding of the genetical properties of natural and quasi-natural populations. see all copies from $7.00! first editions
5	Life's grandeur : the spread of excellence from Plato to Darwin more books like this by Stephen Jay Gould add to wishlist In his characteristically iconoclastic and original way, Gould argues that progress and increasing complexity are not inevitable features of the evolution of life on Earth. Further, if we wish to see grandeur in life, we must discard our selfish and anthropocentric view of evolution and learn to see it as Darwin did, as the random but unfathomably ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.50! \| first editions
6	Selection in Natural Populations more books like this by Jeffry B Mitton add to wishlist In 1974, Richard Lewontin published The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change, focusing enormous attention on protein variation as both a model of underlying genetic variation and a level of selection itself. In the twenty years since, scientific research has been shifted by the power of molecular biological techniques to explore the nature of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.63! \| first editions
7	Nature's Paintbrush: The Patterns and Colors Around You more books like this by Susan Stockdale (Illustrator) add to wishlist Simple text and bright pictures explain the many uses of colors and patterns in the natural world. see all copies from $2.48! first editions
8	Worldwide Variation in Human Growth more books like this by Phyllis B Eveleth, James M Tanner add to wishlist The health of a population is most accurately reflected in the rate of growth of its children. It is this theme which underlies the analysis and presentation of what is by far the largest compilation of growth data ever assembled. The first edition, published in 1976, included all known reliable recent results on height, weight, skinfolds and ... see all copies from $22.88! new only from $46.93! \| first editions \| SVS
9	The Causes of Molecular Evolution more books like this by Dr. John H Gillespie add to wishlist This work provides a unified theory that addresses the important problem of the origin and maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations. With modern molecular techniques, variation is found in all species, sometimes at astonishingly high levels. Yet the forces that maintain variation within and between species have been difficult ... see all copies from $39.58! new only from $85.15! \| first editions \| SVS
10	Variability in Human Fertility more books like this by Lyliane Rosetta (Editor), C G N Mascie-Taylor (Editor) add to wishlist It is widely believed that reproductive cycles are very similar between human females. However, there are in fact considerable variations both between individuals and within the reproductive life of any given individual. 'Normal' reproductive cycles cover a wide range of eventualities, and the likelihood of successful monthly egg release and ... see all copies from $23.53! new only from $23.53! \| SVS
11	The Evolution of Life Histories more books like this by Derek Roff (Editor) add to wishlist There are many different types of organisms in the world: they differ in size, physiology, appearance, and life history. The challenge for evolutionary biology is to explain how such diversity arises. The Evolution of Life Histories does this by showing that natural selection is the principal underlying force molding life history variation. The ... see all copies from $99.00! new only from $211.22! \| SVS

14 view cover	Evolutionary genetics and environmental stress more books like this by Hoffmann, Parsons 1933- add to wishlist Now available in paper, this stimulating book concentrates on evolutionary change under environmental stress at levels ranging from the molecular to the biogeographic, with an emphasis on genetic aspects. This approach contrasts with most of the literature of evolutionary biology, as the emphasis here is upon the extreme end of the stress gradient ... see all copies from $54.05! new only from $61.16! \| SVS
