#33 Human Superpowers Part 2

from EvolutionMedicine · host evolution and medicine by Joe Alcock MD

In this age of Marvel comics, superheroes with superpowers have attained a high degree of cultural fascination. But some superpowers exist in real life, courtesy of natural selection. In part two of this episode, originally livestreamed on Inertia TV, Kate, Joe and Coffee talk about the superpower of the Bajau, a sea nomadic people, to dive longer and deeper than other people. This ability is linked to a bigger spleen, a trait with a heritable signature. Sea Nomads live in the waters of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. We talk about some other stuff too.
