Polygenic prediction of human complex traits using ancient DNA.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2025

Mathieson Iain

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA has revolutionized our understanding of human history and clarified many aspects of human evolution on a molecular level. In this article, I describe recent efforts to translate this into descriptions of phenotypic change over time and to predict phenotypes of ancient groups and individuals. I do not discuss the more challenging problem of distinguishing between adaptive and neutral evolution and...
