I am definitely interested in humans adaption to high altitudes, because it's literally evolution (however small) that we can "see" with our own eyes. I was looking through some articles on adaption to high altitudes, and found this one particularly interesting. It compares a few different locations where people live permanently in high altitudes, and how studies have been done and will continue to be done in order to test the hypothesis or theory (I'm not exactly sure what stage it is at) that these people have genetically adapted to living in these environments. Furthermore, I am interested in how these adaptions will affect the people who have them in other areas with lower altitudes, however this article unfortunately does not specifically cover that.
