Hi

Can you suggest me the best (text)book on population genetics, i.e. that summarizes recent aggregated up to date knowledge on this field ?

Because we got a lot of specific papers, but I would like something more structured and systemic, a general outlook on this field

Thanks

Principles of Population Genetics 4th Edition
by Daniel L. Hartl, Andrew G. Clark

I remember that Razib Khan recommended this college textbook, which is worth $150.



Some of you though might be a little on the unbalanced side. I actually "learned" population genetics (if it can be said I know population genetics, I'd more honestly state I'd familiar with population genetics) through Principles of Population Genetics, the "Hartl & Clark" book. This is not really an introductory book, but I think in some ways it's more comprehensible than Population Genetics, because it doesn't need to be concise. Sometimes formal methods in pop gen only make sense with lots of empirical examples and worked out problems, and this is a book which has the scope in terms of space for that. There's really no big downside I can give for getting this book. I've got he 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions, mostly because I couldn't find an affordable copy of the 3rd in the early 2000s, while the 4th came out literally right after I purchased the 3rd!
