The present book is devoted to a discussion of the mechanisms of species formation in terms of the known facts and theories of genetics. Some writers have contended that evolution involves more than species formation, that macro- and microevolutional changes may be distinguished. This may or not be true; such a duality of the evolutionary process is by no means established. in any case, a geneticist has no choice but to confine himself to the micro-evolutionary phenomena that lie whithin reach of these method, and to see how much of evolution in general can be adequately understood on this basis.
