“…As with other metabolic variants, C282Y has been explored for adaptive benefit relative to environmental stressors. Heath et al (2016a) suggest that thermoregulation factored into the adaptive potential of C282Y among early Neolithic agriculturalists whose migrations carried them into diverse, new ecologies, including the damp and cold (for rejoinders, see Delanghe et al, 2016, Kasvosve, 2016, Heath et al, 2016b, 2016c). The idea is based on the understanding that iron deficiency interferes with the release of thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary, the regulation of metabolism, and maintaining thermal homeostasis, such that iron‐deficient bodies are at greater risk for reduced functioning and vulnerability to cold stress.…”
