pregnant woman has the opportunity to take out two generations if there's not genetic variation there that's protective. So it's like if we want to talk about really fast examples of evolution, it's anything that's acting on pregnancy. And that's what we think has been happening in this population.

We don't totally know. I have my own personal theory, which actually relates to the fact that in a lot of places with cold water, so in Korea, in Patagonia, in Aboriginal Tasmania, it's all women diving. So I suspect that there's something unique about the physiology of women. um, that makes us better at diving in cold temperatures.

It could be. These are some tough ladies, I will tell you that, even into old age. My colleague, Ju Young Lee at Seoul National University, she's been working with them for a very long time. And she did a study where she was trying to find retired haenyeo. And the only ones she could find were over 100 years old. Because they basically don't retire. They just die until they die, essentially.
