The considerable range of observed phenotypic variation in human populations may reflect,
in part, distinctive processes of natural selection and adaptation to variable environmental …

Pathogens have always been a major cause of human mortality, so they impose strong
selective pressure on the human genome. Data from population genetic studies, including …

Infectious diseases have been paramount among the threats to health and survival throughout
human evolutionary history. Natural selection is therefore expected to act strongly on host …

The quantification and characterization of circulating immune cells provide key indicators of
human health and disease. To identify the relative effects of environmental and genetic …

The out-of-Africa scenario 1 has hitherto provided little evidence for the precise route by
which modern humans left Africa. Two major routes of dispersal have been hypothesized: one …

INTRODUCTION Interindividual clinical variability is vast in humans infected with severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), ranging from silent infection to rapid …

Bantu languages are spoken by about 310 million Africans, yet the genetic history of Bantu-speaking
populations remains largely unexplored. We generated genomic data for 1318 …

Both the extent and location of the maternal ancestral deme from which the Ashkenazi
Jewry arose remain obscure. Here, using complete sequences of the maternally inherited …

Humans differ in the outcome that follows exposure to life-threatening pathogens, yet the
extent of population differences in immune responses and their genetic and evolutionary …
