Population history and genetic adaptation of the Fulani nomads: inferences from genome-wide data and the lactase persistence trait

Population history and genetic adaptation of the Fulani nomads: inferences from genome-wide data and the lactase persistence trait

Abstract Background Human population history in the Holocene was profoundly impacted by changes in lifestyle following the invention and adoption of food-production practices. These changes triggered significant increases in population sizes and expansions over large distances. Here we investigate t...
