xkcd's comic from two days ago [1] is about the effects of high altitude. I ended up curious about populations at different altitudes and began reading about cultures with different genetic adaptations, especially Sherpas. It seems that freshly published material on the topic is popping up everywhere now. Youtube recommended a video to me titled "How People Have Evolved to Live in the Clouds" [2] which was published yesterday. Is this a coincidence? Are all of these creators subconsciously inspired by the same source? Maybe there's a new TV show about Everest that I'm not aware of that's influencing interest in the topic. Maybe Everest related articles are frequently on HN and I am just now paying attention to it. Am I being played by the algorithm gods? Baader–Meinhof effect is a convincing illusion.
