Directional Selection and Evolution of Polygenic Traits in Eastern Eurasia: Insights from Ancient DNA.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Feb 2025

Piffer Davide

Abstract excerpt

This study explores directional selection on physical and psychosocial phenotypes in Eastern Eurasian populations, utilizing a dataset of 1245 ancient genomes. By analyzing polygenic scores (PGS) for traits including height, educational attainment (EA), IQ, autism, schizophrenia, and others, we observed significant temporal trends spanning the Holocene era. The results suggest positive selection for...
