【科学60秒】消化牛奶不再是问题
听力简介:
“The ability to digest milk as adults, and as infants, actually, is due to the expression of an enzyme called lactase.” That’s the University of Pennsylvania’s Sarah Tishkoff at the AAAS conference in Washington, D.C., on February 20th, talking about the recent evolution of lactose tolerance in different human populations within the past 9,000 years. “Individuals who don’t express this enzyme can’t digest that ____1____.”
Can we put a number on the ____2____ of lactose tolerance? “The selective pressure was quite ____3____. We actually estimated it to be about 10 percent. So you’re more likely to have 10 percent more offspring essentially.”
How strong is that? Look at population genetics to see how fast a trait will spread that develops in one individual in a population and that confers a 10 percent ____4____. A ____5____ reveals that in just 100 generations, such a trait can be found in 95 percent of the individuals in the population.
That time period could be less than 2,000 years for humans. “I’m often asked the question, are humans still evolving? I would say the answer is absolutely yes.”
