(Masaman, 10/2/09) Who exactly are the Tibetans, and why are they genetically distinct? Living on the world's highest plateau, Tibetans have become uniquely adapted and suited to the Himalayan landscape. They are distinct from all the surrounding groups.
There are many reasons behind this evolutionary path, some of which are less surprising while others are quite bizarre, to say the least. Let's go over the genetics, language, culture, and history of the Tibetans, other Tibetic peoples, and the whole of the Sino-Tibetan family.
