A population genetics formulation of Eigen's molecular quasispecies model is proposed and several simple replication landscapes are investigated analytically. Our results show a remarcable similarity to those obtained with the original kinetics formulation of the quasispecies model. However, due to the simplicity of our approach, the space of the parameters that define the model can be explored. In particular, for the simgle-sharp-peak landscape our analysis yelds some interesting predictions such as the existence of a maximum peak height and a mini- mum molecule length for the onset of the error threshold transition.
