The groups of people who have adapted to high altitudes are seen as some of the best examples of evolution, a topic we studied in depth earlier this year. This is very important because it is solid proof of evolution. I have learned about the many adaptations that are seen in Andeans, Tibetans, and Sherpas. There is information here on the different pathways of genetic adaptation that different groups of people took as well as when the mutations occurred and how quickly they spread through the populations.
