And so, yeah, that's, I think that could certainly be driving the early miscarriages, especially.
Yeah, because, I mean, a lot of proteins are involved in many, many systems. And so if you have a mutation that's problematic in one of those proteins that's involved in all these different systems, it's just going to start to go haywire very early on.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And I mean, you know, to your point, like the phosphodiesterase that we found that was evolving in the Bajo, phosphodiesterases are involved in so many different functions. And so there's, you know, there are chances for these mutations to affect not just the systems that we're interested in, but other systems as well.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.

I mean, in both populations, the people look incredibly fit and athletic, and they tend to have just a very robust appearance. Now, is that because they're diving every day, and there aren't that many 70-year-old women who are jumping off a boat every day to go to work? Or is it something related to their genetics?

I don't think we know yet, but it would be really interesting to look into that more.
Right.
I think that certainly, you know, I mean, we know that these populations have been evolving. We have theories as to what is driving that selection, but they're, I mean, could be sexual selection.

It could be, like you're saying, like that people carrying this genetic variation that happens to also make them a good diver in ways that we expected to find, also make them more attractive in ways that we weren't even looking for. And, you know, we weren't even thinking about pregnancy really when we started the study with the Henyo.
