In the documentary “Sickle Cell Anemia”, Dr. Allison discusses, the topic of how the Sickle Cell disease and Malaria are connected. He claims that the genetic mutation that may cause Sickle Cell Anemia protects you from Malaria. Therefore areas with high incendences of Malaria, also have high incendences of Sickle Cell disease because of natural selection. This natural selection occurred because if you didn't have this genetic mutation you were more likely to die from Malaria. Thus people with the mutation survived and passed the mutation to their offspring. This natural selection causes a high incendence of the mutation acociated with Sickle Cell disease where mosquitoes are present. Ultimately, what Dr.Allison is conveying through his documents
