August 2013 Chapter 23 The Evolution of Populations 23.1 Population genetics provides a foundation for studying evolution Darwin and Mendel were contemporaries of the 19th century At the time both were unappreciated for their work Microevolution ? the generation-to-generation change in the population?s frequencies on alleles The Modern Synthesis The turning point for revolutionary theory was the development of population genetics Population Genetics ?
