the loci of evolution: how predictable is genetic
... We use the term predictability in the sense normally implied by evolutionary genetics as probabilistic predictions. 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. ...
