"The current consensus is that hitchhiking is probably responsible for the most dramatic instances of reduced polymorphism in linked regions - for example, where sequence variation is entirely eliminated - while background selection causes the less extreme cases." - page 263.

- Nihilism
Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived.
