Sick Cell was introduced to Africa from an outside source, by Veddids. It did not originate with Negroids.

Stop. Just stop with these outdated references. In 1953 scientists were still trying to understand hemoglobinopathy. I suggest you update your knowledge if you want to keep your racist, anti-Black anti-Africa propaganda relevant. Today everyone know that the GAG -> GTG mutation which results in HbS has occurred at least five times in human history; corresponding to Bantu, Benin, Senegalese, Cameroon and Saudi-Indian beta haplotypes.

The sickle gene for Indians and the Africans is not one and the same HbS can be informative of either African or Indian ancestry. Hb S can pinpoint a particular African region, either greater SW Nigeria region (Benin haplotype), greater Sene-Gambian W.Africa region (Senegal haplotype), greater central Africa (Bantu haplotype) or the Cameroon locality (Cameroon haplotype).
