Surviving the Cold: How Circumpolar Peoples Have Adapted to the Extreme Conditions of the Arctic
Research paper for ENT 199: Human Hibernation Writing Project — Special Study for Advanced Undergraduates
Project Description

Vo’s analysis, which draws on 35 primary and secondary sources, lays a foundation for future research on the potential for human hibernation.
