Detecting natural selection in high-altitude human populations.

Respiratory physiology & neurobiology - 30 Sept 2007

Beall Cynthia M

Abstract excerpt

High-altitude natives have distinctive biological characteristics that appear to offset the stress of hypoxia. Evolutionary theory reasons that they reflect genetic adaptations resulting from natural selection on traits with heritable variation. Furthermore, high-altitude natives of the Andean and Tibetan Plateaus differ from one another, perhaps resulting from different evolutionary histories. Three approaches...
