In 1968, Kimura proposed the ?neutral theory of molecular evolution?, which became the theoretical basis of modern evolutionary studies. After publishing his work in 1983 in the book ?Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution?, Kimura wrote this book in 1988 for the general public. It was originally written in Japanese and is translated here for the first time. In the book, Kimura first summarizes the development of evolutionary theory since Lamarck and Darwin. He then shows how the search for mechanisms of evolution developed into population genetics and describes how the study of molecular evolution matured by taking in the fruits of molecular biology. Kimura proceeds to carefully explain his neutral evolution theory at the molecular level. Finally, he presents his view of the world from an evolutionary perspective. The book has long served as an in-depth introduction to evolutionary biology for students and young researchers in Japan. There has been remarkably rapid progress in the field of bioscience at the molecular level over the past 30 years. Nevertheless, the book remains an important contribution that laid the foundations for what followed in molecular evolutionary studies. 410 0$aEvolutionary Studies,$x2509-484X 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aPopular Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aEvolució (Biologia)$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 14$aPopular Life Sciences. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 7$aEvolució (Biologia) 676 $a025.3357 700 $aKimura$b Motoo$f1924-1994,$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$046014 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416103603321 996 $aMy Thoughts on Biological Evolution$92530760 997 $aUNINA
