For several models of polygenic traits due to equal and additive alleles the rate of change in allele frequency was estimated. With an amount of selection comparable to the present in several modern studies, evolution appears to be quite fast; so that the rapid change from Neanderthal to modern man could have been accomplished in a very short time evolutionarily speaking
