So proud to see my cohort-mate’s paper up!

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

Curious to hear thoughts from #popgen, #humangenetics, #genomics folks on recent paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... "Directed mutation" in specific human pop'ns seems unlikely to me. DM didn't stand up as proposed in bacteria, but there are hot spots shaped by past selection. Plausible here?
