Analysis of human accelerated DNA regions using archaic hominin genomes.

Analysis of human accelerated DNA regions using archaic hominin genomes.

Several previous comparisons of the human genome with other primate and vertebrate genomes identified genomic regions that are highly conserved in vertebrate evolution but fast-evolving on the human lineage. These human accelerated regions (HARs) may be regions of past adaptive evolution in humans....
