I didn’t think that Nepali highlanders were that close genetically to East Asians, Razib.

i thought that the NPR story indicated that sherpas could carry so much because they took a lot of breaks… was i wrong?

I thought it was sherpas body adopting to slow metabolic rate due to low O2 content at high altitudes, not fat calves.
