The 10,000 year explosion : how civilization accelerated human evolution

by Gregory Cochran, Henry Harpending

This study argues that human evolution has accelerated over the last 10,000 years, challenging the view that biological change ceased in the distant past. It examines how recent adaptations, such as lactose tolerance, have continued to shape the human species.
