Description
This research will analyze the affects of high altitude on human biological and cultural features. A comparison of the physical and cultural features of Himalayan and Andean natives shows a high degree of similarity in spite of the great distance that separates them. Also, the low atmospheric pressure causes a lower birthrate and a slower rate of growth. Studying and knowing people in other circumstances will help us to understand other people in different environments. Data for this project was collected from library sources. The research suggests environment has a strong effect on human life
