Its rare to see such an event occur so quickly and cool to see how they have been able to adapt to survive against something like hypoxia. After reading the article and paiges comment, I was also intrigued by the similarity between high altitude and free diving adaptions. The gene that was identified is found in brain tissue which could help us to understand more about how the brain adapts to different environments, not just the spleen. Very cool article!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560500219214033308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-5837428953394123062018-12-03T18:32:40.422-05:002018-12-03T18:32:40.422-05:00Interesting topic, after reading the summary and y...Interesting topic, after reading the summary and your review I was intrigued and had to know more. Upon scanning the article myself, I found it fascinating how this phenotype of larger spleens was also observed in populations located at high altitudes since they also face the problems of reduced oxygen levels. Although different genetic adaptations were present in those populations, it just goes to show how the same phenotype can be reached overtime through different mechanisms.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11609397945382482025noreply@blogger.com
