Detection of convergent genome-wide signals of adaptation to tropical forests in humans.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Tropical forests are believed to be very harsh environments for human life. It is unclear whether human beings would have ever subsisted in those environments without external resources. It is therefore possible that humans have developed recent biological adaptations in response to specific selective pressures to cope with this challenge. To understand such biological adaptations we analyzed genome-wide SNP data...
