From Darwin’s Origin of the Species to the recent wealth in genomic data, many biologists have focused their research on understanding how natural selection has shaped the variability among and within species. Although theoretical and empirical advances have been remarkable, most biological mechanisms underlying the molecular basis of human adaptation remain to be elucidated. The selectionist view of adaptation accounted for the bias towards independent gene evolution. Most published studies aiming at detecting positive selection using either polymorphism or divergence data have been performed using a gene-candidate or a genome-wide scan approach, as described in the two first articles presented here. However, gene evolution is la...
