The persistence and loss of hard selective sweeps amid admixture in ancient Eurasians

2025-10-14

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which human adaptations have persisted throughout history despite strong eroding demographic events such as admixture, genetic drift, and fluctuations in selection pressures remains unknown. Understanding which adaptations were resilient to such forces may shed light on traits that were important for humans across time. Yet, detecting selection from ancient DNA is challenging due to severe degradatio...
