View New Research Reveals Human Dwelling In High-Altitude African Mountains Images. Rather, it appears the comparatively large alpine surface area of the white mountains and its affiliated greater biotic productivity we report new accelerator mass spectrometry (ams) ages on faunal and human remains recovered from cuncaicha.

Recent papers in high altitude human adaptations.
But the current research suggests that either people evolved these adaptations in just a few thousand. Organisms can live at high altitude, either on land, in water, or while flying. Decreased oxygen availability and decreased temperature make life at such altitudes challenging, though many species have been successfully adapted via considerable physiological changes. Resources are scarce, the weather can be extreme and oxygen levels hover at dangerously low levels.
