Abstract: | DNA sequence data are generally interpreted as favouring Kimura's neutral theory but not without dissent and often with a great deal of controversy with respect to molecular clocks, DNA polymorphism, adaptive evolution, and gene genealogy. Although the theory serves as a guiding principle, many issues concerning mutation, recombination, and selection remain unsettled. Of particular importance is the need for more knowledge about the function and structure of molecules. |
