	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

A fact from Nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 May 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution explains why the rates of molecular clocks are generally independent of population size?

Separate article? edit

I'm thinking it might be reasonable to cover the neutral and nearly neutral theory in one article, perhaps. At this stage the neutral theory article isn't very long and this one is quite short, so adding it as a subsection of the neutral theory article is reasonable. However if the details of these theories are expanded it might be more suitable to have two articles to make room for all the details. Richard001 (talk) 03:20, 19 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
