The author introduces and analyzes a number of probability models: the Wright-Fisher model, the coalescent, the infinite alleles model, and the infinite sites model. He studies the complications coming from nonconstant population size, recombination, population subdivision, and three forms of natural selection: directional selection, balancing selection, and background selection. Various statistical tests are used to detect departures from `neutral evolution'. The final chapter is devoted to the study of the evolution of whole genomes by chromosomal inversions, reciprocal translocations, and genome duplication. The theory is developed in close connection with experimental data from biology literature that illustrate the use of the results. This book is intended for mathematicians and for biologists alike. No previous knowledge of biological concepts is required but some familiarity with Markov chains and Poisson processes will be very useful. (Zentralblatt)
