Real-Life Mermaids Have a Genetic Superpower

Get this: Korea’s legendary Haenyeo women—those badass divers who spend hours underwater with zero oxygen tanks—actually have unique genes that help them survive the cold and keep their blood pressure low, even while pregnant! Scientists just found out these real-life mermaids are basically evolved for diving. Some of them are still out there diving in their 80s, totally unfazed by freezing temps. Their DNA could even help us treat high blood pressure someday. Wild, right? #Haenyeo #GeneticSuperpower #WomenInHistory #ScienceNews #RealLifeMermaids #Science
