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 amino acid sequences with different degrees of functional constraint, such as synonymous and replacement sites....
