Angseesing, J. P. A. – Journal of Biological Education, 1972
Presents genetical and biochemical data to show that the conclusion presented by Dyer (EJ 036 108) is by no meas settled. Evidence to support the concept: evolution by selectively neutral polymorphisms is inconclusive. (AL)

Dyer, K. F. – Journal of Biological Science, 1971
Reviews evidence from molecular genetics and biochemistry, which supports the idea of some evolution, due to chance and selectively neutral mutations, occurring independently of natural selection. (AL)
