A recent genomic study reveals that descendants of indigenous Andean people, who domesticated the potato 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, possess an unusually high number of AMY1 gene copies—average of 10—allowing for better starch digestion, which highlights the role of diet in shaping human evolutionary biology. #IndigenousCulture #GeneticAdaptation #DietaryEvolution #PE #US
