Polygenic evolution towards a morning chronotype in modern humans

Chronotype is a behavioural phenotype, and its phenotypic trend is considered to change at higher latitudes. In the current study, we performed a polygenic assessment of chronotype trend using associated single nucleotide polymorphisms identified by a genome wide-association study. We found that the phenotypic trend towards morningness increased drastically during the migration of anatomically…
