       There is some evidence that people with Asian ancestry may
       develop motion sickness more frequently than people of European
       ancestry

       In short, motion sickness is correlated with neoteny. Also,
       motion sickness is healthy:

       > It has also been proposed that motion sickness could function
       as a defense mechanism against neurotoxins.[37] The area
       postrema in the brain is responsible for inducing vomiting when
       poisons are detected, and for resolving conflicts between vision
       and balance. When feeling motion but not seeing it (for example,
       in the cabin of a ship with no portholes), the inner ear
       transmits to the brain that it senses motion, but the eyes tell
       the brain that everything is still. As a result of the
       incongruity, the brain concludes that the individual is
       hallucinating and further concludes that the hallucination is
       due to poison ingestion. The brain responds by inducing
       vomiting, to clear the supposed toxin.

       I would theorize that, in prehistoric times, the practical
       inconvenience caused by motion sickness would be more
       evolutionarily disadvantageous to nomadic people (hunters or
       herders) as they travel more in total, thus would be most likely
       to evolve in a settled farming gene pool, where not only is
       travel is less frequent but also the lifestyle is such that you
       can work more at your own pace (thus temporarily pause work as
       required to wait out nausea without affecting the outcome) as
       compared to hunters/herders having to react to the pace of the
       prey*/herd (where pausing to wait out nausea could result in
       significant economic loss!). At the same time, farming also
       involves preserving surplus food for potentially months or even
       years before eventual consumption. High sensitivity in detecting
       when a preserved item has decayed (and thus become toxic) would
       be evolutionarily advantageous outright. In contrast, hunters
       and herders are mostly dealing with food that has not had time
       to decay, thus benefit far less from ability to detect food
       decay.
       (* This also accounts for why motion sickness is more common
       among women, as even Gentile women would have done more
       gathering rather than hunting, in which pausing to wait out
       nausea is also less detrimental. If anything, we would expect
       Turanian women to be statistically the least prone to motion
       sickness.)
       For the record, I myself always vomit on planes etc.. I also
       excel at detecting food decay as well as unhealthy additives
       etc..
