Scientists Just Caught Human Evolution in Real Time at 13,000 Feet High on the Tibetan Plateau
In Nepal’s Upper Mustang, near the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, life unfolds in some of the thinnest air on Earth. Oxygen levels are around 60% of what most humans are used to breathing.
Holding particular biological resources, the Tibetan Plateau is a unique geologic-geographic-biotic interactively unite and hence plays an important role in the global biodiversity domain. The Tibetan ...
The rise of one of the highest, flattest places on Earth, the Tibetan Plateau in China's Sichuan province, began much earlier than thought, according to a new study. "Our study suggests that high ...
