Human adaptation and population differentiation in the light of ancient genomes
Detecting the targets of positive selection in the human genome is challenging. Here, the authors combine modern and ancient genomes to show that alleles strongly differentiated between Africans and Europeans mediated local adaptation in European populations, and were mostly contributed by ancient h...

Detecting the targets of positive selection in the human genome is challenging. Here, the authors combine modern and ancient genomes to show that alleles strongly differentiated between Africans and Europeans mediated local adaptation in European populations, and were mostly contributed by ancient hunter-gatherers. |
