- LarsDu88 2y agoI should note that its only something like 1/3rd of Tibetans who have this variant, and something like 1/200 Han Chinese, Vietnamese, Laotians, etc who have this variant (If you go back tens of thousands of years, basically everyone is related to everyone else, so the allele frequencies here are truly implied to be driven by natural selection rather than just simple descent). I vaguely recall that Nepalese have a fairly high frequency of these variant but I'm not sure how high. Would need to dig up the paper
