Introduction to Quantitative Genetics

---

Introduction to Quantitative Genetics is a foundational textbook that presents the theoretical principles underlying genetic variation in quantitative (continuously varying) traits. The book focuses on how genetic and environmental factors contribute to phenotypic variation and how these factors can be analyzed mathematically and statistically.
Falconer systematically explains topics such as gene frequency change, genetic variance, heritability, resemblance between relatives, response to selection, inbreeding, crossbreeding, and correlated traits. Designed to be accessible to biologists with limited mathematical background, the book emphasizes conceptual understanding while still providing essential derivations.
This second edition remains a classic reference for students and researchers in genetics, animal and plant breeding, evolutionary biology, and related fields, and it has had a lasting influence on the development and teaching of quantitative genetics worldwide.
