    Abstract

    The advent of nucleotide sequence data has created e new era in evolutionary biology. With theoretical underpinnings derived the work of the late Motoo Kimura, evolutionary concepts have played role in the development of the field of bioinformatics. However, the maturation of modern evolutionary biology has been hindered by a conception of natural selection as an all-powerful force shaping every aspect of phenotypic evolution. In new books, Joram Piatigorsky and Michael Lynch provide a corrective to some outdated views and thus provide a glimpse of what the evolutionary biology of the 21th century may look like.
