o answer these questions. They began their search for a genetic basis for high-altitude hardiness by looking for genes that differed between the Tibetan people and closely related, but low-dwelling, neighbors. They collected DNA sequence data from 50 Tibetans and 40 nearby Chinese low-dwellers. For comparison, the scientists also collected DNA sequence data from 200 low-dwelling Danes, a more distantly related population.

Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are
Tasya [4]

Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are cortical associated areas.  

The cortex association areas are the areas, which perform the function of detection of stimulus, which cannot be easily detected by the help of the primary cortex.  

They are not directly concerned with the sensory and motor information. They are mainly responsible for the interpretation, integration, and generation of action on the information from other areas of cortex.
