A Review of Anthropological Adaptations of Humans Living in
Extreme Conditions and Health Implications
Understanding gene variations in people living under extreme conditions has the potential of curing
diseases caused by exposure to heat, cold, fatty diets, hypoxia, and pathogens. One candidate gene
associated with heat resistance is ACE1, encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme 1. Associations have
also been made between cold resistance or fatty diets and polymorphisms of several genes, including
ACTN3, encoding alpha-actinin-3, and CPTIA, encoding carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A. A prominent
role in resistance to hypoxia has been recognized for polymorphisms of EPAS1, encoding endothelial
PAS domain protein 1, and EGLN1, encoding Egl-9 family hypoxia inducible factor 1. Variants conferring
human resistance to pathogens include HBB, encoding hemoglobin subunit beta, and ACE2, encoding
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. Genetic knowledge concerning such diseases as malaria and conditions
such as hypoxia should continue to promote advances in gene therapy.
期刊介绍:
Human Biology publishes original scientific articles, brief communications, letters to the editor, and review articles on the general topic of biological anthropology. Our main focus is understanding human biological variation and human evolution through a broad range of approaches.
We encourage investigators to submit any study on human biological diversity presented from an evolutionary or adaptive perspective. Priority will be given to interdisciplinary studies that seek to better explain the interaction between cultural processes and biological processes in our evolution. Methodological papers are also encouraged. Any computational approach intended to summarize cultural variation is encouraged. Studies that are essentially descriptive or concern only a limited geographic area are acceptable only when they have a wider relevance to understanding human biological variation.
Manuscripts may cover any of the following disciplines, once the anthropological focus is apparent: human population genetics, evolutionary and genetic demography, quantitative genetics, evolutionary biology, ancient DNA studies, biological diversity interpreted in terms of adaptation (biometry, physical anthropology), and interdisciplinary research linking biological and cultural diversity (inferred from linguistic variability, ethnological diversity, archaeological evidence, etc.).
