Because curiosity about bodies is valid — and unanswered curiosity is where race myths recruit. Only to explain mechanisms or public health. Averages never become league tables of worth. By preferring review-level consensus and labeling open debates. A gradual change in trait frequency across geography, rather than a sharp racial border.
Yes — dairying and malaria are classic feedback loops. See related diversity topics and the atlas page on genetic-distance myths. The trait responds to concrete pressures: light, air, pathogens, diet or demographic history. Multiple genes and environments usually interact; single-gene bedtime stories are rare.
Identify the selective or developmental pressure first. Separate measurement (what we can observe) from folk labels. Expect polygenic architecture unless a clear Mendelian case is known. Check whether similar phenotypes evolved more than once. Ask what trade-offs accompany any protective allele.
Fold the league table. Keep , “Andean vs Tibetan strategies,” and 1 for High-altitude adaptation.1
