	abstract = {<p>This study identifies and analyzes statistically significant overlaps between selective sweep screens in anatomically modern humans and several domesticated species. The results obtained suggest that (paleo-)genomic data can be exploited to complement the fossil record and support the idea of self-domestication in Homo sapiens, a process that likely intensified as our species populated its niche. Our analysis lends support to attempts to capture the {\textquotedblleft}domestication syndrome{\textquotedblright} in terms of alterations to certain signaling pathways and cell lineages, such as the neural crest.</p>
