John Wakeley is Professor and Chairman of Biology at Harvard University. He has worked extensively in coalescent theory. His research has focussed on populations structured by geography and limited migration. Using coalescent models, Dr. Wakeley has addressed questions about the current and historical demography of humans and other species. In May 2004, Dr. Wakeley received a 2002 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
"The case studies are a terrific feature... I think many biologists will be greatly buoyed by these, and motivated to think deeper about the models and how they can be analyzed." -- Richard Hudson, University of Chicago "I am thrilled John Wakeley is writing this book... For those (like myself ) excited to learn about the coalescent, I expect this book will be a godsend." -- Ben Kerr, University of Washington
