Africans can get the Alpha version but why are we (African Americans) different & why does ours coincide with the Mediterranean area?
It would seem like we'd get Alpha version as well being that we came from the Coast of West Africa.
just something to think about.

oh lawd, not these brehs

we aren't talking about Asians breh, I put it in there that they get it.
I wanna know why is there a difference between us & other people from African descent. Other Africans get Alpha...we get Beta which is in line with the Mediterranean area. Being that we came from the West coast of Africa & are of African descent as well...we should get Alpha Thalassemia just like everybody else from African descent.

Malaria isn't intense in America, just like in Asia and the Maghreb/Mediterranean/Middle East.
good pointexcept that...Asians get Alpha too, African Americans do not
there is something there more than just malaria not being intense IMO
Not really because you can't look at modern demographics and try to strictly apply them to shyt 2000+ years ago after the obvious waves of human transition that area always goes through.
Beta thalassemias occur most often in persons of Mediterranean origin. To a lesser extent, Chinese, other Asians, and African Americans can be affected.
Maybe it is in the blood?
@Marvel
what yall think breh
Don't bother. This thread is about to devolve into every logical fallacy in the book.
Abandon ship brother.
except that...Asians get Alpha too, African Americans do not
Because ASIA is the largest continent
