You are still Northern Europe lineage. The gene developed there and was so successful in extending population it spread. The people without the gene tend to be from warmer climates. That gene was not beneficial. But there was another gene there. It is for sickle call anemia and that is a strange one in expression. If you are AA you are susceptible to malaria because mosquitoes love your blood. If you are Aa mosquitoes hate your blood and leave you alone. If you are aa you are susceptible to having a sickle cell problem.
Fascinating. Mosquitos love me, but I have zero equatorial genetics. Do have eastern European jew (I assume that's one descendant of khazarians, that would have been thru my Germanic lines)
I did not myself clear and I apologize. AA attracts mosquitoes, aa attracts mosquitoes, Aa repells mosquitoes. So if your background is European you probably have AA genotype.
The fascinating thing is Aa repells mosquitoes. But 25% of the offspring of an cross between Aa and Aa would be aa which would lead to sickle cell anemia and possible death through a sickle cell crisis. . So even though Aa prevents malaria 25% of the offspring is in danger from sickle cell anemia.
So I wonder how the introduction of ivermectin to the area to prevent malaria, etc will effect this.
