Rates of molecular evolution predict intraspecies genetic diversity
[article]

pre-print
Because the evolution of modern humans from early mammals has been a continuous process, human genetic diversity at the molecular level should reflect mammalian genetic diversity. To test this prediction, we contrasted the proportion of segregating sites, q, in human data from the 1000 Genome Project with phylogenetic trees of genes in 96 mammalian genomes ranging from human to platypus. The evolvability of a gene in the human population was found to be positively correlated with the long-term
