This textbook provides a concise introduction and useful overview
of the field of human population genomics, making the highly
technical and contemporary aspects more accessible to students and
researchers from various fields. Over the past decade, there has
been a deluge of genetic variation data from the entire genome of
individuals from many populations. These data have allowed an
unprecedented look at human history and how natural selection has
impacted humans during this journey. Simultaneously, there have
been increased efforts to determine how genetic variation affects
complex traits in humans. Due to technological and methodological
advances, progress has been made at determining the architecture of
complex traits. Split in three parts, the book starts with the
basics, followed by more advanced and current research. The first
part provides an introduction to essential concepts in population
genetics, which are relevant for any organism. The second part
covers the genetics of complex traits in humans. The third part
focuses on applying these techniques and concepts to genetic
variation data to learn about demographic history and natural
selection in humans. This new textbook aims to serve as a gateway
to modern human population genetics research for those new to the
field. It provides an indispensable resource for students,
researchers and practitioners from disparate areas of expertise.
