Detection of convergent genome-wide signals of adaptation to tropical forests in humans.
Tropical forests are believed to be very harsh environments for human life. It is unclear whether human beings would have ever subsisted in those environments without external resources. It is therefore possible that humans have developed recent biological adaptations in response to specific selecti...
