Ebook: Evolution and Molecular Revolution

This book makes available the proceedings of a symposium called "Evolution and the Molecular Revolution" held at the University of California, Los Angeles in October, 1994, and convened by the UCLA Center for the Study of Evolution and the Origins of Life (CSEOL). Presented at an appropriate level for first- or second-year college courses, the material provides an overview of our current understanding of the evolutionary process and shows, through a selection of in-depth examples, some of the most exciting advances that molecular biology brings to the study of evolution.
