Common alleles tend to be more ancient than rare alleles. These common SNPs appeared thousands of years ago and reflect intricate human evolution including various adaptations, admixtures, and migration events. Eighty-four thousand abundant region-specific alleles (ARSAs) that are common in one continent but absent in the rest of the world have been characterized by processing 3100 genomes from 230 populations. Also computed were 17,446 polymorphic sites with regional absence of common alleles (RACAs), which are widespread globally but absent in one region. A majority of these region-specific SNPs were found in Africa. America has the second greatest number of ARSAs (3348) and is even ahead of Europe (1911). Surprisingly, East Asia has the highest number of RACAs (10,524) and the lowest number of ARSAs (362). ARSAs and RACAs have distinct compositions of ancestral versus derived alleles in different geographical regions, reflecting their unique evolution. Genes associated with ARSA and RACA SNPs were identified and their functions were analyzed. The core 100 genes shared by multiple populations and associated with region-specific natural selection were examined. The largest part of them (42%) are related to the nervous system. ARSA and RACA SNPs are important for both association and human evolution studies.
