Adaptation observed in Himalayan TibetansIntroductionHow do you think Himalayan Tibetans survived for centuries, despite low oxygen and resources natural products available? Would you like to know how they have adapted over the years? The Tibetans of the Himalayas have adapted to the environment of the high altitudes of the mountains. It is important to observe cultural adaptation. Biological adaptation plays an important role based on their natural selection. Additionally, the archaeological aspects are important because it is useful to know how long Tibetans have been living in the mountains and how they were identified. Cultural adaptationsHistorical records on the Tibetan population are very limited. About 99% of the Tibetan population is concentrated in "one region and four provinces" in northwest and southwest China, namely the TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region), Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Yunnan. Ethnic Tibetans constitute more than 96% of the TAR population. Tibetans have had a common historical tradition, language and religion for over 1000 years. The Tiber was divided into three regions known as Chol-Kha-Sum, Ngari Kor Sum and U-Tsang. U-Tsang (U=Central) has the famous cities and valleys of Tibet like Lhasa, Shigatse, Gyantse etc. Central Tibet is a place of religion (Tibetan Buddhism) and the three largest monasteries are located here (Ganden, Drepung and Sera). .

It is not uncommon for Tibetans not to understand each other...... middle of paper ......utes and times of occupation of the Tibetan Plateau. It is necessary to understand the link between the measured phenotypes and the underlying genotypes and therefore new phenotypes must be identified. Contribution from archaeologists and cultural and physical anthropologists is needed for better comparative analysis between resident and indigenous populations of high altitude environments. (Adaptations to Altitude) Conclusion The Tibetans of the Himalayas have adapted to the environment of higher altitudes in the mountains. Cultural adaptation proves to be an important factor with regard to Tibetans. Biological adaptation plays an important role based on their natural selection. Finally, archaeological aspects are imperative in the field of anthropology. Overall, this essay addresses key points about how Tibetans existed, survived, and adapted based on their environment..
