Journal ArticleDOI

Loci associated with skin pigmentation identified in African populations

TL;DR: It is shown that both dark and light pigmentation alleles arose before the origin of modern humans and that both light and dark pigmented skin has continued to evolve throughout hominid history.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lyman α radiative transfer in a multiphase medium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate Lya resonant scattering through an ensemble of dusty, moving, optically thick gas clumps and develop an analytic framework for estimating escape fractions and line widths as a function of gas geometry, motion, and dust content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Going global by adapting local: A review of recent human adaptation

TL;DR: Ongoing efforts in sequencing genomes of indigenous populations, accompanied by the growing availability of “-omics” and ancient DNA data, promises a new era in understanding of recent human evolution and the origins of variable traits and disease risks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization reveals the evolving genomic architecture of speciation.

TL;DR: Comparing full genome sequences of 32 butterflies, representing five species from a hybridizing Heliconius butterfly community, to examine genome-wide patterns of introgression and infer how divergence evolves during the speciation process provides a uniquely comprehensive portrait of the evolving species boundary.
