Evidence of widespread selection on standing variation in Europe at height-associated SNPs
Strong signatures of positive selection at newly arising genetic variants are well-documented in humans1–8, but this form of selection may not be widespread in recent human evolution9. Because many human traits are highly polygenic and partly determined by common, ancient genetic variation, an alter...
