Han Chinese individuals on the Mongolian Plateau exhibit strong genetic homogeneity and adaptation signatures linked to metabolic functions, driven by ancient dietary shifts and environmental changes. These adaptations involve polygenic traits and pleiotropic genes, contributing to the genetic architecture of complex traits in eastern Eurasians.
Ting-Liang Woo made significant contributions to the study of the Chinese national physique, particularly in skeletal anthropology. His research on the physical integration of various ethnic groups in China helped to demonstrate the nation's diverse yet unified heritage.

The article notes that almost two-thirds of Nepal's total population are involved in agriculture, and around 28 million people live in areas with environmental suitability for B. pseudomallei. This suggests that the indigenous rural farming populations in Nepal are at a particularly high risk of contracting melioidosis, especially during the rainy season.
The implementation of simple, low-cost measures outlined in the paper can help address the underdiagnosis of melioidosis in Nepal's indigenous, rural farming populations.
