Abstract

The process of combining Darwinism and genetics, which entered the history of biology as a synthetic theory of evolution, is considered.
Key words: synthetic theory of evolution, neo-Darwinism, the concept of a biological species, population genetics, genetic polymorphism, the theory of dominance, gene drift.
