Admixture-enabled selection for rapid adaptive evolution in the Americas

BACKGROUND: Admixture occurs when previously isolated populations come together and exchange genetic material. We hypothesize that admixture can enable rapid adaptive evolution in human populations by introducing novel genetic variants (haplotypes) at intermediate frequencies, and we test this hypot...
