Title: Human Adaptations to Environmental Extremes | UPSC Anthropology Optional
Description: Discover the fascinating ways humans adjust and thrive in diverse climates. This lecture covers essential concepts and specific examples crucial for your UPSC Anthropology Optional Paper.
• Understanding Adaptation: Explore the core concepts of adaptability, short-term acclimatization, irreversible developmental adaptations, and long-term genetic changes shaped by natural selection.
• Hot Climate Adaptations: Learn about physiological responses like vasodilation and sweating, genetic adaptations such as Bergman's and Allen's rules and specific genes (HSP70, ADH), and cultural strategies like light clothing and water-rich diets.
• Cold Climate Adaptations: Delve into acclimatization processes like shivering and vasoconstriction, genetic traits including Bergman's and Allen's rules and genes (UCP1, FADS, ADRA2BG), and cultural solutions like insulated housing and specific diets.
• High Altitude Adaptations (Hypoxia): Understand acclimatization responses like increased respiration and RBC production. Examine distinct genetic adaptations in Tibetan Highlanders (e.g., EGLN1 gene, mitochondrial DNA mutations) and Andes populations (e.g., HIF2-alpha factor), alongside cultural solutions like specific diets and herbal remedies.
