Changes in life history and population size can explain relative neutral diversity levels on X and autosomes in extant human populations
2019-09-09
Abstract excerpt
In human populations, relative levels of neutral polymorphism on the X and autosomes differ markedly from each other and from the naive theoretical expectation of ¾. These differences have attracted considerable attention, with studies highlighting several potential causes, including male biased mutation and reproductive variance, historical changes in population size, and selection at linked loci. We revisit this...
