So to wait for something that comes up that's actually beneficial can take forever because you have to have exactly the right thing. The genome's huge. So when those changes are happening, for it to not only happen in the right place, but to not cause problems takes a really long time.

So some of the faster examples that we know of evolution, especially in humans, come from when there's variation that's just already there. And, you know, it's not particularly advantageous, like I mentioned, with Tibetans until you move into a particular environment or until you start practicing a certain activity like breath hold diving. And so, you

And so, you

You know, we have we call it standing variation. Just there's all these differences between all of us humans on Earth. And so when you have variation that's beneficial in the right environment, then evolution can happen a lot faster.
