Added a subsection under "Physiology" to describe the effects of recent human evolution on Freediving within diving populations like the Sama-Bajau, and organized the section slightly.

=== Recent human evolution ===
In addition to general [[Adaptation|adaptations]] within the [[human species]], Freediving is an example of an activity that has been directly affected by [[recent human evolution]]. The [[Bajau]], or “[[Sea nomads|Sea“Sea Nomads]],” have engaged in Freediving for thousands of years, and [[natural selection]] has led to larger [[spleen]] sizes. This serves as an [[oxygen]] reservoir when diving. It is theorized that other isolated diving populations globally may have experienced the same selection.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Ilardo|first1=M.
