Comparative genomic evidence for self-domestication in <i>Homo sapiens</i>

2017-04-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> This study identifies and analyzes statistically significant overlaps between selective sweep screens in anatomically modern humans and several domesticated species. The results obtained suggest that (paleo-) genomic data can be exploited to complement the fossil record and support the idea of self-domestication in Homo sapiens, a process that likely intensified as our species populated its nic...
