Human evolution isn’t over; scientists say the Tibetan Plateau is proof
People on the Tibetan Plateau have developed unique physiological traits over 10,000 years to thrive in low-oxygen conditions, preventing hypoxia. A study showed that intermediate hemoglobin levels and high oxygen saturation are key factors for reproductive success and survival in extreme high-altitude environments.
