Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-01010-9Advances in genome-wide selection scans and ancient DNA have greatly expanded our ability to study human evolution. This Review discusses the conceptual and statistical challenges in identifying and interpreting selection signals, and how recent approaches are reshaping our understanding of human evolution over the past 10,000 years.
