DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;Human\nAdaptation to High Altitude:&nbsp\; A\nhalf-c
 entury of study in Biological Anthropology.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIn\nthe late 196
 0s and early 1970’s\, the anthropologist Paul Baker initiated a\nseries of
  multidisciplinary studies of Peruvian high altitude Quechua\npopulations 
 in the Andes. The objective was to collect normative data on the\nbiologic
 al characteristics of Quechua\, and to test hypotheses of evolutionary\nan
 d/or developmental adaptation to chronic altitude exposure.&nbsp\; Baker’s
  students carried this work forward in\nmany disparate directions\, includ
 ing new geographical directions with novel\nstudies of other altitude nati
 ve populations in the Himalayas and in\nEthiopia.&nbsp\; In the last decad
 e\, molecular\ngenetic work has dramatically advanced our understanding of
  how humans adapt to\nhigh altitude.&nbsp\; This talk will take a\nhistori
 cal perspective\, but will also focus on recent developments in the field\
 nand Brutsaert’s own (recently completed) 4-year genetic study of Peruvian
 \nQuechua in Lima and Cerro de Pasco\, Peru.Dr. Tom Brutsaert is an Associ
 ate Professor and Chair of the Department of Exercise Science in the Schoo
 l of Education at Syracuse University and an Associate Professor of Anthro
 pology by Courtesy Appointment.
