Figure 4. Polygenic selection on height.

Figure 4

A. Estimated genetic heights. Boxes show 0.05–0.95 posterior densities for population mean genetic height (Methods). Dots show the maximum likelihood point estimate. Arrows show major population relationships, dashed lines represent ancestral populations. V’s show potential independent selection events. B: Z scores for the pairwise polygenic selection test. Positive if the column population is taller than the row population.
