- Letter from Professor J.B.S. Haldane, Biometry Dept., University College, London, to LP RE: Thanks LP for the reprint; noticed that he did not refer to Beet's work regarding evidence that sickle cells are relatively immune to malaria. In 1948, Haldane suggested that microcythaemia might protect heterozygotes from malaria. L.S. Penrose generalizes that for many thousands of years, natural selection in man has largely been for resistence to various infections. This has not given us the optimal genotypes for other functions. As infections are abolished, this selection will be relaxed, thus causing new evolutionary trends, some of which may be desirable.
