Population genetics

the theory that most molecular change in evolution results from random drift of selectively neutral mutations rather than from selection.

In population genetics, neutral theory of molecular evolution refers to the theory that most molecular change in evolution results from random drift of selectively neutral mutations rather than from selection. This meaning comes from Kimura (1968) in Nature.[1]
