Gene network polymorphism is the raw material of natural selection: the selfish gene network hypothesis.

Abstract excerpt

Population genetics, the mathematical theory of modern evolutionary biology, defines evolution as the alteration of the frequency of distinct gene variants (alleles) differing in fitness over the time. The major problem with this view is that in gene and protein sequences we can find little evidence concerning the molecular basis of phenotypic variance, especially those that would confer adaptive benefit to the...
