Why Chosen
Since my tenure and promotion to associate professor, my research has shifted from comparative anatomy to using evolutionary quantitative genetics to understand vertebrate evolution. Few publications provide the essentials of quantitative genetics as lucidly and broadly as this volume. Scholars who want to learn about the theory and methods that underlie the evolution of complex traits are well-served to have a copy of this volume on hand. I learn something new every time I open it.
