Parallel Selection on TRPV6 in Human Populations
We identified and examined a candidate gene for local directional selection in Europeans, TRPV6, and conclude that selection has acted on standing genetic variation at this locus, creating parallel soft sweep events in humans. A novel modification of the extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) test was utilized, which compares EHH for a single allele across populations, to investigate the signatu...
متن کاملCultural sexual selection in monogamous human populations
In humans, both sexes sometimes show peculiar mating preferences that do not appear to increase their fitness either directly or indirectly. As humans may transmit their preferences and target culturally, and these may be artificially modifiable, I develop theoretical models where a preference and/or a trait are culturally transmitted with a restriction of the trait modification. I assume a mon...
متن کاملParallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity
Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...
متن کاملDetecting natural selection in high-altitude human populations.
High-altitude natives have distinctive biological characteristics that appear to offset the stress of hypoxia. Evolutionary theory reasons that they reflect genetic adaptations resulting from natural selection on traits with heritable variation. Furthermore, high-altitude natives of the Andean and Tibetan Plateaus differ from one another, perhaps resulting from different evolutionary histories....
