The role of Beringia in human adaptation to Arctic conditions based on results of genomic studies of modern and ancient populations by B. A. Malyarchuk

“…Meanwhile, the analysis of the existing hypotheses about the selection of some genetic variants in the Beringian ancestors of the Amerindians in connection with adaptation to the Arctic conditions (for example, in the FADS, ACTN3, EDAR genes) shows the ambiguity of the testing results, which may be due to the loss of some traces of the “Beringian” adaptation in the gene pools of modern Native Americans. The most optimal strategy for further research seems to be the search for adaptive variants using the analysis of paleogenomic data from the territory of Beringia, but such genetic data are still very scarce.…”
