i want to point out sickle cell anemia.
if you have it, life is hard. pre-modern-medicine you died young. however if you are just a carrier (you have to carry two recessive genes to have the disease, but if you only have one you’re a carrier) you have remarkable resistance to malaria.
life is funny that way.
