The trait specific timing of accelerated genomic change in the human lineage

2022-03-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Humans exhibit distinct characteristics compared to our primate and ancient hominin ancestors including bipedal locomotion and enhanced neurocognitive ability, but the timing of accelerated changes in these traits is uncertain. To investigate if specific trait-associated variation show enrichment during particular periods of human evolution, we combine genome wide association study (GWAS) data fr...
