For those that need a fair (and free!) Population Genetics text, here's one available in PDF form, in a RAR-compressed file, for personal use:
Alan R. Templeton, “Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory”
Wiley-Liss; 1st edition (September 29, 2006) 705 pages
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/2390240 (8.05 MB)
Click on "free downloading" and wait for 60-second clock countdown, then download PDF to a folder, and un-rar.
If you need a (clean) free PDF reader, try Foxit : http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/reader-interstitial.html
Sanford's "genomic (mutational) meltdown" scenarios are a hoot. Even DaveScot was bright enough to see that Sanford's proposed mutation rates were out of line with reality: fast-reproducing sexual species that have existed a few million should have all been extinct by now, but they're not. Sanford inflates deleterious mutation rates and disregards compensatory mechanisms.
