title: A mouse following in the footsteps of human prehistory.
abstract: One of the strongest signals of positive selection in humans surrounds the V370A variant of Ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR). However, its phenotypic consequences and impetus for selection are not well understood. Kamberov et al. nail down when it originated and, using transgenic mice, delineate its phenotypic impacts.
