15、re different from people in south China in many ways. For example, most people in the north tend (傾向) to prefer to eat meat, while southerners prefer vegetables. But where do these differences come from?A study of over 140,000 Chinese people has shown that genetics (遺傳學(xué)) might hold the answer. Scien

16、tists from BGI-Shenzhen, a gene study center in China, found that six genes can cause genetic differences between people from different parts of China. This is a result of natural choice, which leads to different eating habits. According to the study, more people from north China carry the FADS2 gen

17、e than those from south China. This gene helps to metabolize (代謝) fat in the human body. Therefore, people from north China are better able to digest (消化) meat and fat. This helps them live more easily in northern areas where there is more meat and fewer vegetables. Moreover, the study also showed t

18、hat people from the south are more immune (有免疫力的) to certain illnesses than people from the north. For example, malaria (瘧疾) was once widespread in some parts of south China. So peoples genes changed so that they could better resist the illness. However, there are also downsides. People from the sou

19、th are more likely to have a certain kind of blood illness. The gene G6PD, which causes this illness, is more common in people from the south than those from the north.
