The genetic architecture of and evolutionary constraints on the human pelvic form Human pelvic evolution following the human-chimpanzee divergence is thought to result in an obstetrical dilemma, a mismatch between large infant brains and narrowed female birth canals, but empirical ...

Thrilled to share that our study on the genetic architecture and evolutionary constraints shaping human pelvic form is now out in Science(@science.org)! This work was brilliantly led by my lab mate @xliaoyi.bsky.social

Leveraging ancient DNA to uncover signals of natural selection in Europe lost due to admixture or drift - Nature Communications Large-scale ancient DNA (aDNA) studies offer the chance to examine genomic changes over time, providing direct insights into human evolution. Here the authors use aDNA from 708 European samples to ide...

Scientists Use Ancient DNA to Shed Light on Adaptation of Early Europeans Leveraging statistical analysis and applying it to ancient DNA revealed new insights into how ancient Europeans adapted to their environments over 7,000 years.

Our research on natural selection in Holocene Europe and how selective sweeps were later obscured by genetic drift and admixture has been published in Nature Communications. To learn more, check out this article: cns.utexas.edu/news/researc...
