Talk:Anemia

Actually both are clearly sourced. And you left out some words from the 120 days reference for some reason.--Tony 23:03, 18 August 2010 (PDT)

You added un-sourced text shortly after erroneously criticizing the author for the same?

One reason the sickle cell DNA persists in the human population, despite being homozygous for it can be fatal, is that being heterozygous for the condition provides protection against malaria. Thus is has some use to those who live in areas prone to malarial infections.
