A massive study of ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 people across more than 10,000 years in West Eurasia reveals that natural selection has shaped modern human genomes far more than previously thought.

For years, the story of recent human evolution looked relatively quiet. Scientists studying ancient human DNA had found only ...

Additive genetic variance might usually be expected to decrease in a finite population because of genetic drift. However, both theoretical and empirical studies have shown that the additive genetic ...
