Abstract excerpt
The prediction of phenotypes from ancient humans has gained interest due to its potential to investigate the evolution of complex traits. These predictions are commonly performed using polygenic scores computed with DNA information from ancient humans along with genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from present-day humans. However, numerous evolutionary processes could impact these phenotypic predictions. In...
