Abstract
It is known that several different alleles can be maintained at a locus by selection, but only when the various genotypic fitnesses satisfy very special conditions. It is shown in this paper that a population with many possible mutations will evolve in such a way that these conditions arise naturally for most fitness regimes. The first steps are taken towards the assessment of the likely size and shape of the resulting stable polymorphisms.Keywords
