John Hawks talks about the ways that human populations have evolved in response to the threat of malaria. The sickle cell trait, Duffy null blood type, and G6PD deficiency are covered. The changes in human sialic acids are also discussed as factors making human malaria pathogens like Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax different from the malaria parasites that affect chimpanzees and gorillas.
