DESCRIPTION:.. [[{'fid':'535536','view_mode':'default','type':'media','attributes':{'height':'300','width':'505','class':'media-element   file-default'}}]].. Free public Lecture with Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor   and Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, Case Western Reserve   UniversityRoughly 83 million indigenous people live on Tibetan, Andean, and East African plateaus—high-altitude environments where oxygen is scarce. How do they survive in such harsh places? Physical anthropologist Cynthia Beall will discuss her groundbreaking research on the genetic and physiological adaptations that each of these populations has developed in order to live in thin-air environments and what these adaptations tell us about the ongoing evolution of our species.Free event parking available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage [1].[1] http://map.harvard.edu/?ctrx=760081.5&ctry=2963729.5&level=9&layers=Campus%20Base%20and%20Buildings%2CMap%20Text
