Did dietary change drive natural selection? A paleo-empirical evaluation across 6,000 years in Britain
2025-06-28
Abstract excerpt
Multiple genetic variants associated with diet-related traits show strong signatures of natural selection 1–17 . To test whether these signals were indeed diet-driven, we conducted an empirical investigation. We compiled an isotopic dataset comprising 6,064 ancient human samples and 5,635 food resource samples from Britain. We developed a Bayesian mixing model to estimate individual dietary proportions based on i...
