It's a shame the genetic studies aren't published in more noteworthy journals. It's not that it's necessarily wrong, but it's to easily dismissed as fringe science. It's a nice story but hand-waving and certainly not compelling. Definitely not reductionist in regards to the molecular aspects of heterozygous advantage. I mean we're not seeing those types of diseases in north western Europeans, unlike the Cochran et al study.
