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.
