In this activity youâll act as a researcher that seeks to provide additional evidence for the connection between sickle cell disease, malaria, and human evolution. Youâll start by constructing a hypothesis, then youâll collect data on the incidence of malaria, mortality, parasite, and vector (mosquito). Finally, you will write a short conclusion based on your data and state whether your conclusion supports Tony Allisonâs original hypothesis.
Use the Malaria Atlas Project (https://map.ox.ac.uk/explorer/#/explorer) website to view maps, and save them as JPGs so that you can attach them to your post. (You will probably need to use the Snipping Tool or another screen-capturing app. Also, see "How to use" on this website for help.)
In your post, be sure you include these items:
State your hypothesis.
Upload the JPG maps that support your hypothesis.
Provide a brief discussion (seven to eight sentences) that interprets your data (from the maps youâve created)
Provide a brief conclusion (seven to eight sentences)
