Until some significant chunk of denisovian genome shows up saying that they must have contributed is guesswork at best and blatantly untrue at worst.

Very cool to learn that adaptations that allow humans to breathe at high altitudes deals more with hemoglobin, cellular respiration, and blood flow thanks to biochemistry rather than a simpler explanation such as an increased lung capacity that I may have once though accounted for these living conditions. I'm sure those that live at high altitudes may have developed a larger lung capacity, but that's not the only reason they can survive on less oxygen.

What about a video on adaptations for living in arctic regions?

We studied this in one of our anthropology courses. The Andes people are adapted, but not quite evolved yet, as per say the Sherpa in the Himalayas. The key giveaway to this is giving live birth at high elevations or not. A study showed that Andes women would return to lower elevations for easy birth and giving the child a chance to live. The Sherpa women did not have to do the same. Their babies would live. Adaptation verses evolution scenario.

Equally interesting are those physiological differences which make some of us more prone to altitude sickness. For my entire life, I’ve gotten altitude sickness at absurdly low altitudes, only recently discovering why. I (along with ~25% of all people) have a Foramen Ovale, which makes me more prone to altitude sickness. I’ve never tested whether it makes me more susceptible to HAPE or HACE, and never plan to.

Do any of these high altitude adaptations cause a problem at low elevations? For instance, high hemoglobin causes higher rates of clotting, but does that apply at any elevation or only when attempting to live at lower elevations?

Would EPAS1 be helpful for diving and holding your breathe as well? because it takes more oxygen but wouldnt that empty your lungs longer? Aka wasting oxygen?

Typical system is to build spaceships with lower pressure, but higher oxygen percentage. Some of the early spaceships were even pure-oxygen atmospheres. (Though that was a high fire risk.) Your body only really cares about the partial pressure of oxygen (and carbon dioxide, but only in the inverse), so as long as that's high enough you can reduce the rest of the air pressure just fine.

The Tibetans can thank Denisovans for their adaptations to high elevations.

So even if one takes Genesis literally, which not all do (cultural context), it does not necessarily mean 7 24-hour days.

Do women who live at high altitudes have fewer instances of anemia? How is pregnancy effected?

I’m from Tibet tingri county where Everest is. I can breathe easily

A 2017 study found that the Sherpa ethnic group has evolved genes that help them cope with the altitude, including more efficient mitochondria, the organelles in our cells that convert oxygen into energy. They also have better anaerobic metabolisms, producing more energy in the absence of oxygen. www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/05/28/530204187/the-science-behind-the-super-abilities-of-sherpas

Actually we can even breathe in interplanetary space. The government tells us otherwise because they don't want us to escape. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!
