[|Ancient DNA helps humans adapt?] January 14, 2004

There are many reasons that mitochandria are inside our body and apparently they have the ability to change how our body adapts to cold weather.When early humans started to move farther North their DNA adapted to a warmer climate and warmed up their bodies so that they would have a better chance of survival. Unfortunatly some of the humans died because of this chance in the DNA. This is also one way to explain why some races of humans are more likely to catch certain diseases than others. Everyone's mitochandria work in a different way. For example; if a person who has their mitochandria adapted to warm weather is more likely to suffer in cold climates and vise versa. Fortunatly one can prevent this if in their diet contains more fatty substances to burn off in the weather that is not very fitting to their liking. This excess energy is used to get rid of the oxygen radicals that are the product of our mitochandria burning the fuel needed to run our bodies. If all of this excess waste was not removed we all would die.
