Simulating hemoglobin history.

Human biology - 1 Aug 2003

Fix Alan G

Abstract excerpt

In one of the truly classic works in anthropological genetics, Frank Livingstone established the interrelationships between agriculture, mosquito ecology, malaria, and, consequently, the frequencies of sickle cell hemoglobin in West Africa. A major inference from Livingstone's study was the recency of malaria as a selective agent in human populations, only becoming significant after the adoption of agriculture in...
