altitude sickness.
Tibetans have evolved physiological adaptations that allow them to thrive at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are lower. This includes increased lung capacity, a higher concentration of red blood cells, and a faster breathing rate. These adaptations make Tibetans less likely to suffer from altitude sickness compared to individuals who are not native to high-altitude environments.
