I can't believe that they didn't once mention that the 'high-altitude-gene' has it's origins with the Denisovian people.

Here is a National Georgraphic article about them:

Tibetans Can Thank Ancient Humans for Gene That Lets Them Live the High Life

"The physiological ability of ethnic Tibetans to thrive at miles-high elevations, unaffected by oxygen levels that leave lowlanders gasping, appears to have originated with Denisovans, a close relative of Neanderthals."

Sherpa’s also are one the very rare peoples who practice fraternal polyandry (one woman marries brothers). That helps narrow the gene pool perhaps preserving this characteristic.

What if we don’t want Sherpa DNA, or Coronavirus vaccines? Are we bad for being thankful with our God given Viking DNA and immune system?
