Evteev and Heuze´ (1) state that there is no evidence supporting that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean populations exhibit cold-adaptation features. However, severalfacial traits present in these groups were previously interpreted as cold-climate adaptations (2?9). For instance, a composite sample that included Chinese, Japanese, and Korean individuals showed internal nasal variation compatible with theoretical expectations for cold climate adaptations (9). It is also noteworthy that we applied computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses that directly test for differences in the internal nasal mucosa, making irrelevant any prior difference among cold- versus warm-evolved populations. Such potential prior differences are also irrelevant in the context of Lande?s test, which departs from random evolution as a null hypothesis.
