Tibetan people (Tibetan: བོད་པ་)

 

Tibetan people, language, and culture, regardless of where they are from, are referred to as Zang (Chinese: 藏; pinyin: Zàng)

 

The Tibetan people (Tibetan: བོད་པ་, Wylie: bod pa, THL: bö pa; Chinese: 藏族) are an East Asian ethnic group native to Tibet Tibet Autonomous Region, significant numbers of Tibetans live in the Chinese provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan, as well as in India, Nepal, Bhutan and the western world.

 

Tibetan languages belong to the Tibeto-Burman language group. The traditional or mythological, explanation of the Tibetan people's origin is that they are the descendants of the human Pha Trelgen Changchup Sempa and rock ogress Ma Drag Sinmo. It is thought that most of the Tibeto-Burman speakers in Southwest China, including Tibetans, are direct descendants from the ancient Qiang people.

 

Most Tibetans practice Tibetan Buddhism, although some observe the indigenous Bon religion and there is a small Muslim minority. Tibetan Buddhism influences Tibetan art, drama and architecture, while the harsh geography of Tibet has produced an adaptive culture .

 

As of the 2014 Census, there are about 6 million Tibetans living in the Tibet Autonomous Region and the 10 Tibetan autonomous prefectures in the provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, Yunnan and Sichuan. The SIL Ethnologue in 2009 documents an additional 189,000 Tibetic speakers living in India, 5,280 in Nepal and 4,800 in Bhutan. The Central Tibetan Administration's (CTA) Green Book (of the Tibetan Government in Exile) counts 145,150 Tibetans outside Tibet: a little over 100,000 in India; over 16,000 in Nepal; over 1,800 in Bhutan, and over 25,000 in other parts of the world. There are Tibetan communities in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Norway, Mongolia, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In the Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan, the Balti people are a Muslim ethnicity of Tibetan descent numbering around 300,000.

Tibetan's Physical characteristics

 

Tibetans are phenotypically diverse, and exhibit high-altitude adaptations genetic basis of Tibetan adaptations have been attributed to a mutation in the EPAS1 gene, and has become prevalent in the past 3,000 years.

 

티베트 사람들은 표면적으로 다양하고, 고도에 적응하는 유전적 근거를 보인다.

티베트인들이 적응하는 유전적 근거는 '고산지대 유전자( EPAS1 gene)'의 돌연변이에 기인하며 지난 3,000 년 동안 일반화 되어 왔다.

 

Recent research into the ability of Tibetans' metabolism to function normally in the oxygen-deficient atmosphere above 4,400 metres (14,400 ft) shows that, although Tibetans living at high altitudes have no more oxygen in their blood than other people, they have ten times more nitric oxide and double the forearm blood flow of low-altitude dwellers.

 

4,400 미터 (14,400 피트) 이상의 산소가 부족한 대기에서 정상적으로 기능하는 티베트인의 신진대사 능력에 관한 최근의 연구는

- 높은 고도에 사는 티베트인들은 다른 사람들보다 혈중산소가 더 많지 않아도,

- 다른 사람들보다 10배의 산화 질소 를 가지고 있고 , 저고도 거주인들 팔뚝 혈류의 2배를 가지고 있음을 보여준다.

 

 

Tibetans inherited this adaptation thanks to their Denisovan admixture. Nitric oxide causes dilation of blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely to the extremities and aids the release of oxygen to tissues.

 

티베트인들은 * Denisovan 혼합 덕분에 이러한 고도 적응을 물려 받았다.

산화 질소는 혈관을 팽창시켜 혈액이 사지 말단으로 더 자유롭게 흐르게 하고 조직으로의 산소 방출을 돕는다.
