In the past 3,000 years, many populations have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environments. People in Siberia and the high arctic are uniquely adapted to survive extreme cold.

Laurence Hurst investigates. [Directed by Philip Piaget & Rikke Planeta, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by André Aires].
