Description: Genetic loci reported to be under positive selection in the common ancestor of modern Eurasians are represented by rs1881227 in KITLG, and those independently evolved in Europeans and East Asians, indicating possible convergent evolution, are represented by rs12913832 in OCA2 and rs885479 in MC1R, respectively. The maps of allele frequency were drawn using R (version 3.2.1, https://www.r-project.org), based on these loci in 53 global populations provided by the Human Genome Diversity Panel CEPH (HGDP, http://www.hagsc.org/hgdp/index.html). Blue and red colors denote the ancestral and derived alleles, respectively.
