I've seen a couple studies that concluded blonde white people were more resistant to frost bite. People with darker skin are probably gonna do better the closer to the equator you are sun burn and skin cancer wise. Asian people have the eyes that look more closed by default as it helps in environments that are more humid. All of those seem like super powers to me o.o tho yeah I don't think you need to know your specific genetic makeup for any of that.
