title: Human prehistory: the message from linkage disequilibrium.
abstract: The vast amount of information being gathered about human DNA sequence variation raises the question of what these data can tell us about events in our past. A new way has been found by which patterns of linkage disequilibrium can be used to detect the effects of natural selection in human prehistory.
