I am a proud non-member of the Hmong- and Altaic-speaking groups.
The “recent” event is either an earthquake, a deviant hepatitis communicable easily in all forms to all who used alcohol, or an attack from Mars.

Just thinking of the Silk Road circa 1500 BC ~ up to 250 AD and what hepatitis would have done to the folks who worked that route ~ sure, kill off everyone, or nearly everyone, who didn't have a gene that made them very sick when they drank alcohol from the community beer or wine pot.

Raises a question ~ do Jews abstain culturally, or do they get nauseus?

I know folks with the gene and sometimes they find themselves in the middle of projectile vomiting without warning.

This is similar to the genes that control celiac disease. Eat the wrong stuff (wheat gluten) and within half an hour your system is expelling the clymatis containing grain product (if you're an early agricultural revolution type). Cherry/apple/peach allergy genes would protect against eating baby birch trees which have enough cyanide to kill humans. Lots of these genes around.
