Both statements are true. I stated why and didn't elaborate to great detail.
So, the A-1 Milano gene and the increased strength mutation shown earlier in the thread does not qualify as a benefical mutation. O-kay.
Is it genetically passed on. I do believe I qualified my remarks so as to avoid this dodge.
What about sickle-cell anemia? Carriers of one sickle-cell allele are better-adapted to survive in environments where malaria is present. That doesn't qualify, either?
No, I don't believe that qualifies as much of anything. I would cite the list of everchanging 'what causes cancer' foods as a basis for my disbelief on this. I don't believe that the trait itself is anymore responsible for malaria immunity than eating coconut pulp might be. But simply because I'm used to seeing these sorts of things constantly overturned.
Why would you think that three legs is a beneficial mutation?
Who said it's about the three legs. You're avoiding the core issue. I'm sure you are laughing because when you can't answer you haven't much anywhere else to go - do you. This proves the point as much as anything. Here we are after all this time and you guys are stuck in the unseemly position of having to squirrel your way out of issues you can't address (because they show your empty hand) or in mistating the opponent, for the same reason, or any number of other things. You have support for something here, I'm sure - just not evolution.
Both are genetically passed on, yes.

Strange. So, the fact that some foods don't cause cancer leads you to conclude that the well-documented proof that being a carrier of one sickle-cell allele grants resistance to malaria is wrong? ROFLMAO

If you would tell us what the core issue is, it would make things so much easier.
