Motoo Kimura was a prominent Japanese evolutionary biologist known for his contributions to the field of population genetics. He is best known for proposing the **neutral theory of molecular evolution** in the 1960s. This theory suggests that the majority of genetic mutations that occur in a population are neutral, meaning they do not confer any significant advantage or disadvantage to an organism's survival or reproduction.
