Two overview articles on detecting selection in contemporary human populations

The first is a news focus from today's Science summarizing recent studies on detecting the genes that underlie human population differences

The second is a review in Nature Review Genetics, but rather than looking directly at the genes the authors propose an approach which links measures of fitness with phenotypic traits
