Natural selection has driven population differentiation in modern humans.

Nature genetics - 1 Mar 2008

Barreiro Luis B, Laval Guillaume, Quach Hélène, Patin Etienne, Quintana-Murci Lluís

Abstract excerpt

The considerable range of observed phenotypic variation in human populations may reflect, in part, distinctive processes of natural selection and adaptation to variable environmental conditions. Although recent genome-wide studies have identified candidate regions under selection, it is not yet clear how natural selection has shaped population differentiation. Here, we have analyzed the degree of population...
