Genetic Mutation Allowed Black Death to Persist for Centuries
A new study published in Science reveals that the deletion of the pla gene in Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for the plague, reduced its virulence, allowing it to persist for centuries after the initial Black Death outbreak by modifying transmission dynamics within a decimated rodent pop...

Genetic Adaptations Allow South Korean Haenyeo to Withstand Extreme Diving Conditions
A study of South Korean haenyeo, female free divers, reveals physiological and genetic adaptations enabling them to withstand frigid waters and prolonged dives; two genes linked to cold tolerance and blood pressure regulation appear to contribute to their resilience and lower stroke risk.

Genetic Adaptations of Jeju's Haenyeo Free-Divers Offer Clues to Blood Pressure Treatments
A study of the Haenyeo women of Jeju Island, South Korea, who free-dive for seafood, revealed unique genetic adaptations associated with lower blood pressure and potentially cold/pain tolerance, offering potential insights for treating blood pressure disorders; however, this tradition is dying out, ...

Human Evolution on Mars: A Likely Scenario
Human evolution continues; populations adapt to new environments through natural selection, as seen in high-altitude populations and those with lighter skin. Martian colonists will likely face new selective pressures, resulting in genetic adaptation over time.
