Distinct selective forces and Neanderthal introgression shaped genetic diversity at genes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders
Abstract In addition to high intelligence, humans evolved specialized social-cognitive skills, which are specifically affected in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Genes affected in ASD represent suitable candidates to study the evolution of human social cognition. We performed an evolut...
