Behaviors That Alter Your Genes to Improve Your Health & Performance | Dr. Melissa Ilardo

And so maybe you'll start to see that happening again as you have a more globalized population where different groups of humans are creating these interesting phenotypes through the mixing of their genes that maybe will lead us to be more resilient as our planet is changing around us.

You know, I'm going to get myself in trouble because I don't remember exactly how long ago it was.

You know, I'm going to get myself in trouble because I don't remember exactly how long ago it was. More than 10,000 years ago. More than 10,000 years ago. But it only became advantageous when the ancestral population of Tibetans moved into these extremely high altitudes. So they kind of, you know, it was just sitting there waiting for a chance to be really advantageous.

And then as soon as they went to these high altitudes, people carrying that genetic variation were at a huge advantage. And so they, you know, passed that along to their children and their children's children and so on.

That's exactly right. So yeah, we see that happening with Neanderthals as well, but also this other population of, they call it archaic hominids, Denisovans. So these were a population that were found in areas of Asia, and their genes were introgressed, we say, so essentially inserted into the human genome.
