an recent coronavirus-like epidemic drove adaptation in east asians from 25,000 to 5,000 years ago
these adaptive events were limited to ancestral east asian populations, the geographical origin of several modern coronavirus epidemics.", "an arms race with an ancient corona-like virus may thus have taken place in ancestral east asian populations.", "here, we apply evolutionary analyses to human genomic datasets to recover selection events involving tens of human genes that interact with coronaviruses, including sars-cov-2, that started 25,000 years ago.", "notably, modern human genomes contain evolutionary information tracing back tens of thousands of years, which may help identify the viruses that have impacted our ancestors  pointing to which viruses have future pandemic potential."
