One example; King of the Mountains: Tibetan and Sherpa Physiological Adaptations for Life at High Altitude - https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiol.00018.2014 https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiol.000...
> What "original adaptations" are you referring to?
That should have been obvious from the context. A people's "native and niche" geographical area in which they evolved to adapt. Eg. Chukchi in the Arctic (tolerance to extreme cold by increased basal metabolic rate and blood pressure), Bajau Freedivers of Indonesia (much larger spleen) etc. More prosaically darker skin as you get closer to the equator and lighter skin as you go away from it.
> How about you give us a reference to this article before paraphrasing from memory?
How about you understand what is meant when i have said "which i read a long time ago"? I myself have been searching for this for a while now but i don't recall the title and hence am unable to find it. However, One very good example of BMI vs. Fat is this video about the epidemic of diabetes in poor countries that aren't overweight where the British and Indian scientists measure their fat content (the wai wai paradox at 7:40) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGuED1JczbI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGuED1JczbI
