Other examples are related to the coevolution of genes and languages [19,20], but only two more recently reported examples might be associated with positive selection: (1) Tovo-Rodrigues et al. [21] investigated the distribution of D4 dopamine receptor (DRD4) alleles in several South Amerindian populations and found a significant difference in the allelic distributions between hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists, with an increase of the 7R allele among the former; and (2) Acun˜a-Alonzo et al. [22] showed that the 230Cys allele (Arg230Cys, rs9282541) of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene, which was previously associated with low HDL-cholesterol levels and obesity-related comorbidities, was exclusively present in Native American and mestizo individuals.

Here, we expand the investigations of the Arg230Cys polymorphism in Native Americans and integrate the thrifty genotype concept with the gene-culture coevolution process, considering the human ability to create new ecological niches that may lead to the selection of genetic variants.

In agreement with this historical scenario, the genetic variation in Arg230Cys presented a worse fit to neutrality than loci known to be neutral, indicating that selective mechanisms are necessary to explain the genetic diversity of Arg230Cys, especially when the Mesoamerican agriculturalist subdivision is considered in the analysis.

Therefore, the significant role of random processes and/or more heterogeneous cultural and ecological scenarios makes it difficult to define a particular pattern associated with the Arg230Cys polymorphism in South American groups, a situation different from that in Mesoamerica. In conclusion, our analyses demonstrate for the first time a robust correlation between a constructed niche and a selected Native American autochthonous allele. Login to comment
