Researchers are combining machine learning with classical statistical methods to identify polygenic adaptation — the gradual, small shifts in many genes that populations undergo in response to environmental pressures. The hybrid approach aims to pick up signals too subtle for traditional genome scans alone, potentially clarifying how traits like height, metabolism and disease risk have evolved across human populations.
