Abstract excerpt
Proponents of the neutral theory argue that evolution at the molecular level largely reflects a process of random genetic drift of neutral mutations. Under this theory, levels of interspecific divergence and intraspecific polymorphism are expected to be correlated across classes of nucleotide or...
