This item has been replaced by Evolutionary Analysis, 4/E.

For undergraduates majoring in the biological sciences.

In its Third Edition, Evolutionary Analysis presents evolution as a process, emphasizing the relationship between theory, observation, testing, and interpretation. By introducing principles through recent and classical studies and emphasizing real-world applications, Evolutionary Analysis conveys the excitement and logic of evolutionary science.

NEW - Reorganization of molecular analyses and molecular evolution—Material previously found in Ch. 18 Molecular Evolution is now integrated for discussion and application of molecular evolution throughout the text.
- Allows for a greater emphasis of how progress in evolutionary biology is driven by molecular techniques and data.

NEW - Expanded Coverage of Quantitative Genetics—A new chapter on Quantitative Genetics provides a more extensive introduction to the genetics of quantitative traits as well as expanded coverage allows for discussion of QTL mapping, an exciting new technology that can identify the genes that impact quantitative traits.

NEW - Updated coverage throughout.
- Shows students that evolution is a dynamic, rapidly changing field (Evolution of HIV and multidrug cocktails for the treatment of HIV, New molecular research which supports evolution, coverage of advancements in the long term studies on Darwin's Finches by Peter and Rosemary Grant).

NEW - Media Program for Instructors—An Instructor's Edition contains a CD with all figures and line art from the text provided as labeled and unlabeled JPEG's for integration into PowerPoint or other presentational tool.
- Provides instructors with an invaluable resource for enhancing your lecture with text-specific illustrations.

Simulations for use in the classroom can be downloaded directly from the website.
- Provides a dynamic way to represent complex processes in the classroom.

Enhanced Media Program for Students at www.prenhall.com/freeman—The companion website is designed to enhance student learning and overall understanding of the concepts.
- Simulations.
- Self-review quizzes with art/graphics from the text.
- End of chapter questions from the text, for ease-of-use in making homework assignments.
- Essay questions for deeper review of the material.
- Science Skills links to other resources, such as Writing for the Sciences; Journals and Periodicals; Math Review; Chemistry Review; MCAT Review.

Inquiry-Driven—Presents basic principles of evolutionary biology through the analysis of new and classicial studies.
- Conveys the excitement of discovery involved in the research of evolutionary science.

Presents Evolution as a process.
- Helps students see the connection that takes a scientific theory through observation, testing, and data analysis.

Author developed illustration program with full color photographs, diagrams, and datagraphics throughout
- The author's involvement in the visual program ties the illustrations closely to the text, making the overall presentation more accessible for students.
