Coalescent theory is one of the most elegant and powerful probabilistic approaches in mathematical population genetics. It formalizes the backward perspective on evolution in large finite populations by considering a population evolving forward in time under the effects of various factors, conditional on genetic data observed in the current generation, providing a link between evolutionary models and empirical data.
