Detecting genetic drift versus selection in human evolution.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 28 Dec 2004

Ackermann Rebecca Rogers, Cheverud James M

Abstract excerpt

Recent paleoanthropological discoveries reveal a diverse, potentially speciose human fossil record. Such extensive morphological diversity results from the action of divergent evolutionary forces on an evolving lineage. Here, we apply quantitative evolutionary theory to test whether random evolut...
