TL;DR

This demonstrates the multiple possible paths to the same functional outcome (surviving at high altitude).

Homo sapiens

Human Population · Ethiopian Highlands, ~3,000m elevation

Human populations living at high altitude in Ethiopia that evolved adaptations to hypoxia through unclear mechanisms - not elevated hemoglobin like Andeans, not EPAS1 mutations like Tibetans. This demonstrates the multiple possible paths to the same functional outcome (surviving at high altitude).
