Bringing environment back into human evolution: why human genetics needs genome-environment association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of human adaptation to environmental pressures is a central question in evolutionary biology. Recent advancements in genome-environment association (GEA) methods have provided novel insights into how genetic variation is shaped by climate, diet, altitude, pathogens, and other environmental factors. However, despite significant progress in non-human studies, the application of GEA...
