Andean villagers' genes reveal millennia of arsenic exposure
Original: genetics
Villagers living around Prague's reporting of a study say Andean communities drank arsenic-laced water for thousands of years, and their genomes may carry evidence of adaptation to the toxin. The finding highlights how long-term environmental exposure can leave measurable traces in human DNA. It is drawing attention across Google trends in Britain, Canada and Australia.
Why now: A new study suggesting genetic adaptation to arsenic exposure in Andean populations has caught widespread search interest.
