The mind of primitive anthropologists: hemoglobin and HLA, patterns of molecular evolution.

Human biology - 1 Aug 2003

Williams Robert C

Abstract excerpt

Frank Livingstone played a central role in defining the population genetics of the sickle cell mutation at position 6 of the human beta globin gene, the most famous amino acid substitution in evolutionary biology. Its discovery occurred at a time when traditional, 19th-century principles of natur...
