I've sent u an article about the Tibetans before, but this one is much more in depth. Also, it's an example of an adaptation at the molecular level due to a mutation in DNA that is beneficial to the Tibetans. They even know which stretch of DNA does it. Again, this is natural selection (which naturally involves slight mutations with every generation) / evolution at work.
