title: [Ecology of the peoples of the Central Asia. the anthropological aspect].
abstract: The results of the long-term investigations of the original Altai-Sayany inhabitants' morphophysiological features in connection with general research of adaptation to Alpine, steppe, taiga and desert ecological niches are represented in the article. The morphophysiological characteristics of the studied ethnic groups reflect the adaptations to cold stress. The features of specific adaptation to Alpine, steppe and taiga zones are found against a background of expressed continental adaptive type. In conclusion the author discusses the perspectives of further human ecology investigations of Mongolia as a model territory for studies of process of adaptation to climate-landscape conditions in Central Asia.
