Hi there, I’m Pema, a Tibetan ex pat. My grandparents were exiled from Tibet in the 1950′s; my maternal grandmother lived at the foot of the Potola Palace until her husband was shot dead by Chinese officers. My paternal grandmother, on the other hand, was raped by a Chinese soldier the day she decided to leave her homeland.

I’m just saying that Tibetans do not consider themselves to be Chinese. We speak our own language, use a different alphabet – based off Sanskrit, not Chinese characters; we have our own national history, religion, and collective identity, and even had an internationally recognized Tibetan passport.

As far as genetics go, we are different. This study proved that the gene in question, EPAS-1, is found in nearly 90% of Tibetans, but in less than 10% of Han Chinese. Tibetans also carry a D-Haplogroup that is only shared with Andean, and Japanese populations – not Chinese. In my opinion, Tibetan also sounds more like Japanese than Chinese… the first four counting words in both languages are the same! Point is, humans share more than 99.9% of their DNA with chimpanzees. Yet there’s an 80% discrepancy between the Han Chinese and Tibetans in the frequency of a genotype that for most Tibetans, spells out either life or death.

Using my family as an example, my mother and I were both born in high altitudes in Nepal. Her parents both lived in very high altitudes themselves. We both have low hemoglobin, but with a good diet, the associated Anemia makes very little difference in our lives. We have a lower hemoglobin count, but our bodies are more efficient in the ways that we carry oxygen.

It is counterintuitive at first, but one must consider the effects of altitude sickness: oxygen deficiency acts as the stimulus for a spike in hemoglobin production. This helps carry more O2 throughout the body, but also thickens and congeals the blood. Over time, the newly climatized individual will suffer from complications from overproduction of hemoglobin. These complications include reduced fertility, and increased infant mortality. In another study done, Tibetan woman with the EPAS-1 gene had an infant mortality rate at .48. Tibetan women without the gene, however, had an infant mortality rate at around 2.53. That is natural selection working right there, selecting only the individuals who are genetically able to adapt to the high altitudes.

Anyway, it makes sense that we have less hemoglobin in our blood, it just happens that the little hemoglobin we do have is highly effective. The EPAS-1 gene is also associated with super athleticism! Tibetans have 10x the Nitric Oxide as low land dwellers, as well as increased forearm blood flow. In some lame family support of this, my father was a star athlete, my mother was a swimmer, and at some point in my school years, I was a competitive swimmer, runner, gymnast, dancer, and even a cheerleader!

Anyway, sorry for the long spiel!

the HAN and tibetans are genetically very closely related…. and are basically one people. i knew the Peoples Liberation Army were justified in liberating the tibetans in 1959.

thanks to the CCP we now know that these two peoples are basically one people, one nation. tibet is a part of China.

there is no denying, genetics doesn’t lie, Researchers don’t lie.

Evolutionary theory based upon natural selection and mutations has been adequately debunked for over 40 years, yet they are constantly forwarded as plausible theories. Look up Fred Hoyle, Francis Crick, and Stephen Gould to see the lengths that evolutionists have to go to support their ideas. Mathematical lunacy. These three men represent the best scientific minds amongst evolutionists, and their conclusions are all the same: darwinism and neodarwinism is totally false, leaving only puncuated equilibrium (mathematically impossible) and xenospermia (sheer fantasy) as the only possible solutions.

Most of us in high school and university level biology were never told of the countless experiments that could not lend one shred of support for darwinist and neodarwinist propaganda. That knowledge has always been reserved for the graduate and postgraduate level programs.

In the words of Fred Hoyle, it is more probable that a fully assembled, perfectly working 747 aircraft would come out of a tornado going through a junkyard, than for natural selection and mutations to have produced what we see today.
