Driving forces of Evolution

Depending on the relative importance assigned to the various forces of evolution, three perspectives provide evolutionary explanations for molecular evolution. Selectionist hypotheses argue that selection is the driving force of molecular evolution. Neutralist hypotheses emphasize the importance of mutation, purifying selection, and random genetic drift. Mutationists hypotheses emphasize random drift and biases in mutation patterns.
