Bill, exactly why is antibiotic resistance not beneficial to a bacterium?
Exactly why is a mutation in an Italian family that makes them immune to
bad cholesterol not beneficial?
Blond hair appears to give protection against frostbite. Exactly why is
that mutation not beneficial in the northern part of Europe?
Black skin appears to give some protection against ultraviolet rays and
helps prevents melanoma. Exactly why is this not beneficial in the tropics?
And the sickle cell gene gives some protection from malaria if it is
heterozygous. Are you saying that it is better for more people to die from
Malaria than for fewer people (the homozyous) to die from sickle cell
anemia? If it saves lives in a malaria infested environment, exactly why is
it not beneficial?
