Adapting to disease Anonymous Thu Jan 7 14:50:48 2021 No.12555143 [Reply] [Original]

Examples of humans adapting to disease in interesting ways. The biggest and easiest example I know of is sickle-cell anemia in Africa. In populations where malaria is endemic, the deleterious effects of sickle-cell anemia don't outweigh the lethality of malaria and even bestows advantages against the latter, and so it persists. Anyone know of any others?
