Neutral Evolution

Neutral Evolution is a theoretical model in molecular evolution that explains the fixation of genetic changes through random genetic drift rather than natural selection, specifically positing that most evolutionary changes at the molecular level are caused by the stochastic accumulation of selectively neutral mutations.
