Genetic Evidence of Paleolithic Colonization and Neolithic Expansion of Modern Humans on the Tibetan Plateau

TL;DR: The genetic data indicate that Tibetans have been adapted to a high altitude environment since initial colonization of the Tibetan Plateau in the early Upper Paleolithic, before the last glacial maximum, followed by a rapid population expansion that coincided with the establishment of farming and yak pastoralism on the PlateauIn the early Neolithic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Tibetan-specific mutation in the hypoxic gene EGLN1 and its contribution to high-altitude adaptation

TL;DR: A significant association between rs186996510 and hemoglobin levels in Tibetans is detected, suggesting that EGLN1 contributes to the adaptively low hemoglobin level of Tibetans compared with acclimatized lowlanders at high altitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic evidence of a recent Tibetan ancestry to Sherpas in the Himalayan region

TL;DR: DNA samples from 582 Sherpas living in Nepal and Tibet Autonomous Region of China showed that Sherpas share most of their paternal and maternal lineages with indigenous Tibetans, suggesting Tibetans are the ancestral populations of the Sherpas, whose adaptive traits for high altitude were recently inherited from their ancestors in Tibet.
