Evolution 5th Edition | Futuyma Kirkpatrick

New to this Edition:

• Genomic perspectives on evolution are strengthened throughout
• The content has a stronger focus on human evolution: an entirely new chapter on the topic (Chapter 21, The Evolutionary Story of Homo sapiens), and new examples throughout the book
• Many chapters have been rewritten from the ground up
• The book has been entirely reillustrated in a clean, contemporary style that enhances the content
• A new Appendix, A Statistics Primer, introduces the concept of a probability distribution, reviews how statistics are used to describe populations, looks at how we estimate quantities, and discusses how hypotheses are tested. It ends with a brief overview of two major frameworks of statistical analysis: likelihood and Bayesian inference. Math is kept to a minimum.
