- Understanding these dates can give indirect evidence regarding the selective pressure that may underlie the adaptation
- n humans, for example, dispersal across the globe has resulted in the occupation of a wide variety of habitats, and in several cases, selection in response to specific ecological pressures appears to have taken place.
