What are the four forces of human evolution?

The four forces of human evolution are mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection. Mutation introduces new genetic variations, genetic drift refers to random changes in gene frequencies within a population, gene flow involves the transfer of genetic material between populations, and natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more common in a population due to their advantage for survival and reproduction.


What do stabilizing selection and directional selection have in?

Aside from both being natural selection, not much. Let us use height in humans as our example.Stabilizing selection, the regression to the mean, keeps the height of humans pretty much with a normal distribution as the human environment is the whole earth. So humans are not too tall, or too short, generally ( pygmies excluded ), over all the human range and various environments.Now, with directional selection there would be a tendency for the human population to grow taller, or shorter over generations. We have seen this effect on humans in ancient times, Homo florensis, but in modern time stabilizing selection of human height, averaging out, is the norm.


Is natural selection happening in human populations?
