He was known for introducing the neutral theory of molecular evolution in 1968.
This is exactly what we would expect from the neutral theory.
This is called the unified neutral theory of biodiversity.
She developed the slightly deleterious model (Ohta, 1973), then a more general form, the nearly neutral theory of evolution.
The critical responses to the neutral theory that soon appeared marked the beginning of the neutralist-selectionist debate.
For these reasons, he accepted the neutral theory of evolution.
This form of the neutral theory is now largely abandoned, since it does not seem to fit the genetic variation seen in nature.
Most recently, extinction debts have been estimated through the use models derived from neutral theory.
Kimura spent the rest of his life developing and defending the neutral theory.
This came to be known as the unified neutral theory of biodiversity.
