have both will be able to produce more functioning red blood cells that will help extend life. Especially in areas that contain malaria is where these alleles come into play. If those with the two copies of sickle cell are infected with malaria they almost have no chance to survive due to the lack of functioning red blood cells they contain. Therefore in areas where malaria occurs‚ people who have sickle cell will have both alleles in order to be able to adapt and survive due to balancing

Haldane (one of the first people to understand evolutionary pressure and its effects) suggested that sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia‚ helped its host better resist malaria (Dr.Moalem 89). Haldane’s hypothesis was supported by the fact that evolution produces distinct traits in certain populations. In addition‚ Dr. Moalem states that a map of the world’s fava bean
