Most common phenotypic variation in humans is highly polygenic. Although there are examples of strong selective sweeps at individual loci, we and others have hypothesized that the bulk of human adaptation occurs through small shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds or thousands of relevant loci. In this talk I will describe our recent work on methods for studying the genetic basis of a variety...
