The Hominid Lineage
Human population migrations Out of Africa, Replacement –Single mother of all humans (Eve) ~190,000yr –Single father of all humans (Adam) ~340,000yr –Humans out of Africa ~50000 years ago replaced others (e.g., Neandertals) Multiregional Evolution –Generally debunked, however, –~5% of human genome in Europeans, Asians is Neanderthal, Denisova

Fixation, Positive & Negative Selection Neutral Drift Positive Selection Negative Selection How can we detect negative selection? How can we detect positive selection?
Conservation and Human SNPs CNSs have fewer SNPs SNPs have shifted allele frequency spectra CNSs have fewer SNPs SNPs have shifted allele frequency spectra Neutral CNS
How can we detect positive selection? Ka/Ks ratio: Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions Very old, persistent, strong positive selection for a protein that keeps adapting Examples: immune response, spermatogenesis Ka/Ks ratio: Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions Very old, persistent, strong positive selection for a protein that keeps adapting Examples: immune response, spermatogenesis
How can we detect positive selection?
Long Haplotypes –iHS test Less time: Fewer mutations Fewer recombinations
