THE LOCI OF EVOLUTION: HOW PREDICTABLE IS GENETIC
... To convince the reader that genetic evolution is predictable in at least some general sense, we point out that there is already an uncontroversial general theory of genetic evolution. Nonsynonymous mutations are predicted to contribute more to phenotypic evolution than synonymous mutations. There is ...
