      Abstract. Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American, European, and African ancestors. Complex historical factors have resulted in varying proportions of ancestral contributions ...

      Abstract. The aerobic capacity of 268 subjects (158 males and 110 females) was evaluated in La Paz, Bolivia situated at 3,750 m. The sample included 1) 39 high altitude rural natives (all male); 2) 67 high altitude urban ...
    • European genetic admixture predicts decrement in aerobic performance at 4338 meters in peruvian quechua 

      Brutsaert, Tom; Parra, Esteban; Shriver, Mark; Gamboa, Alfredo; Palacios, José-Antonio; Rivera, María; Rodríguez, Ivette; León-Velarde, Fabiola (High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
      Quechua natives of the highland Andes may be genetically adapted to high altitude and thus able to resist decrements in maximal O2 consumption in hypoxia (DVO2max). This evolutionary hypothesis was tested via the repeated ...
