内容简介:

As human populations encountered various selection pressures in different environments throughout history, local adaptation on traits affecting reproductive success occurred. But the human evolutionary genetics field has few good examples of selection on polygenic phenotypes. 

Dr.Ju’s PhD dissertation studied directional selection on two traits showing marked differentiation in human populations that represent relatively the low and high ends of the spectrum of polygenicity. He examined light skin pigmentation evolution in Europeans and short stature evolution in a western Central African rainforest hunter gatherer population. Skin pigmentation in Europeans lacks a typical signal of polygenic selection, suggesting an oligogenic adaptive response, whereas there is suggestive evidence for polygenic selection for short stature in the Central African rainforest hunter gatherer population. 

He will extend the research into local adaptation to East Asian populations by combining knowledge of adaptation with the expertise and ancient DNA data during his postdoctoral work.
