Why Evolution is True and Why Many People Still Don't Believe It (Jerry Coyne, 2012)

Pardis Sabeti and colleagues describe their analysis of human sequence data from the 1000 Genomes Project to reveal hundreds of potential adaptive variants. In a second study, the authors engineered mice to express an allele of the human Ectodysplasin receptor, which originated in China ~30,000 years ago, to model recent human evolution.
