Extinct Humans Passed High-Altitude Gene to Tibetans

Readers who are interested in this kind of thing may be interested in the new book by Svante Pääbo, <i>Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes.</i>[1] Pääbo was the first researcher to figure out how to sequence DNA from ancient human beings, starting with Egyptian mummies and eventually leading to the complete sequencing of Neanderthal nuclear genomes.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Svante-P%C3%A4%C3%A4bo/e/B00GJ9XR7O/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Svante-P%C3%A4%C3%A4bo&#x2F;e&#x2F;B00GJ9XR7O&#x2F;</a>

Perhaps not entirely surprising, when you consider how much better Tibetan high-altitude adapations are when compared to Andean people&#x27;s. So the idea that they evolved in the span of 3,000 years seems suspect. Very interesting that they seem to have picked them up from a relict population - perhaps this is related to the Yeti stories?

I wondered this about Neanderthals, now Denisovans: in what sense are they extinct if their progeny still walk the Earth?

There&#x27;s a subgroup of Asians spanning the Himalayas and east Asia that have blue bottommed babies that is generally believed to denote an ancestry that shares Genghis Khan, iirc. Anyone know whether this group is the same as the one that shares the Denisovan gene?<p>There&#x27;s one other thing that I think people living in the Himalayas have, myself included, that helps and that is proportionately humongous lungs. This is probably evolution at work over the course of centuries.

&gt; Extinct Humans Passed High-Altitude Gene to Tibetans<p>Extinct? Hmmm. Get over it we are partly neanderthals, denisovans and so on.

...And I can&#x27;t. Not yet anyway. Not until we clone one of them.

Pity we didn&#x27;t acquire Neanderthal genes for their 1600 cc brains, the largest of any primate species found to date. [1]<p>Edit: Apologies to the downvoter, I should have substantiated that claim. I have added a source.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/society/neanderthal-man.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.infoplease.com&#x2F;encyclopedia&#x2F;society&#x2F;neanderthal-m...</a>
