Early to Middle Pleistocene transition shapes the evolution of human-specific mutations associated with height and basal metabolic rate

2024-06-28

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of modern-human-specific traits is essential for elucidating the formation of anatomically modern humans (AMHs). Here, we studied the genetic underpinnings of height and basal metabolic rate (BMR), which have undergone extensive modifications in AMHs compared to other Homo species and apes. The results revealed a significant genetic correlation between the two traits. The evolution...
