Summary

For more than a century, scientists have sought to reconstruct human evolution using diverse lines of evidence, including fossils, genetic variation across populations and ancient DNA. Building on these approaches, researchers are increasingly using large population biobanks to investigate how natural selection continues to shape the genomes of living populations. In a new study, researchers analyzed genomic data from more than 72,000 Han Taiwanese participants in the Taiwan Biobank and compared allele frequencies across adult age groups.
