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.

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.
