Natural selection shaped regional mtDNA variation in humans. Cosi’ si intitola un recente articolo pubblicato su PNAS:
Dan Mishmar, Eduardo Ruiz-Pesini, Pawel Golik, Vincent Macaulay, Andrew G. Clark, Seyed Hosseini, Martin Brandon, Kirk Easley, Estella Chen, Michael D. Brown, Rem I. Sukernik, Antonel Olckers, and Douglas C. Wallace Natural selection shaped regional mtDNA variation in humans
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 100, Issue 1, 171-176, January 7, 2003
…e cosi’ si conclude l’abstract dell’articolo:
From these analyses we conclude that selection may have played a role in shaping human regional mtDNA variation and that one of the selective influences was climate.
