Nonadaptive processes in primate and human evolution.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jan 2010

Harris Eugene E

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary biology has tended to focus on adaptive evolution by positive selection as the primum mobile of evolutionary trajectories in species while underestimating the importance of nonadaptive evolutionary processes. In this review, I describe evidence that suggests that primate and human ev...
