Evolution in Mendelian Populations

Evolution in Mendelian Populations

"Evolution in Mendelian Populations" is a lengthy 1931 scientific paper on evolution by the American population geneticist Sewall Wright.

The paper was first published in "Genetics" volume 16, pages 97-126. In it, Wright outlines various concepts, including genetic drift, effective population size, and inbreeding.

A contemporary review by R.A. Fisher can be found [http://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/coll/special/fisher/natsel/appenda.pdf here]
