Huberman Lab · Behaviors That Alter Your Genes to Improve Your Health & Performance | Dr. Melissa Ilardo · 26 May 2025 podcast
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.
It wasn't until we got these results and we're saying, you know, what is this difference in blood pressure?
It wasn't until we got these results and we're saying, you know, what is this difference in blood pressure? And speaking with maternal health specialists that we really pieced it together. So I think it's the kind of thing where, yeah, you just you don't even really know necessarily all of the pieces of the puzzle. And that's where it's a lot more questions for us to ask in the future.

And the Moken children had better eyesight underwater than the European children.
Now, that same researcher, after publishing this paper, went back to Europe and trained European children to do the same thing, essentially, to perform at the same level as these Moken children. And so, you know, there was this kind of dismissal, like, oh, well, you can train Europeans to see underwater just as well, so it must not be evolved. It must not be genetic. It has to just be training.
