Genes and Their Evolution: Population Genetics 4 Larsen. Essentials of Physical Anthropology
Genes and Their Evolution: Population Genetics Donna Proctor, Photographer- Leafy Sea Dragons Question addressed in this chapter: What causes evolutionary (genetic) change?
Demes, Reproductive Isolation, and Deme: a local population that interbreeds Gene pool: all the genetic information in a breeding population Reproductive isolation: mechanism that prevents two populations from interbreeding Species: groups of reproductively isolated organisms.

Gene Flow
Gene Flow Exogamous: more gene flow, more genetic variation Endogamous: less gene flow, less genetic variation Patrilocal Males remain in birthplace; females migrate Matrilocal Females remain in birthplace; males migrate
