City Living.
Abstract
This article discusses research study being done on the association between urban living and a genetic variant that reduces the chance of contracting diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy. It references a study by Mark Thomas et al., published in the journal "Evolution." The researchers compared rates of genetic disease resistance with urban history. They observed the prevalence of the variant in populations with long histories of urban living.
