Yes. That gene is most common in native americans. 50% of them have it. That's why tribal brazilians never look shreded, but australian abos do. It also contributes to why mexicans are prone to diabetes.

It's quite interesting research and they think they've found 3 other admixture populations in asia not just the denisovans ands neanderthals
also they've found a 160,000 year old triple rooted tooth that is still common in asians
