Abstract

Population Genetics provides a structured introduction to how genetic variation is measured and modeled within populations and how it changes across time and space. It reviews the field’s historical foundations and key terminology, then develops core models such as Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The book explains evolutionary forces—mutation, migration (gene flow), genetic drift, and natural selection—and explores mating regimes including inbreeding and homogamy. It also introduces microbial population genetics, quantitative genetics, population structure and differentiation, and modern molecular/genomic approaches and sequencing-based analyses for applied contexts such as conservation and human genetics.
