This book is fantastic so far. Falconer and Mackay offer lucid and concise descriptions of the equations describing genetic and phenotypic change (and fortunately for me include only essential derivations). There is a clear emphasis on application to evolutionary studies, which gets me excited for application to my work in the near future.

can't say but...humph...! must have deep understanding about statistic b4 one could read this. For me...it's pretty 'heavy' read

Great. If you want to learn some quantitative genetics, and even population genetics, this is where to go. I can even understand the math.

[Darcy Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is very good if you like genetics.

[Jessie Tanner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Falconer's writing is dense and not that easy to follow.

[Hrafnhildur Agnarsdóttir · Rating 4 out of 5]

Primitive statistical knowledge needed, concise and direct to the point. Perfect introduction to quantitative genetics and population genetics.

There is math in the world and beauty in the math.
