The molecular era had arrived. 4. 1980–2003 For a brief period during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a number of molecular biologists descended again on the haemoglobin field and all the human haemoglobin genes were rapidly cloned and sequenced. Gratifyingly, there were no great surprises; the careful work on human pedigrees over the previous 20 years had put the genes in the right order on the right chromosomes. And now it was possible to isolate the defective and genes directly from patients with and thalassaemia.

Indeed, the haemoglobin disorders became the prime example of heterozygote advantage and balanced polymorphism in human populations. Although Haldane’s hypothesis had a major effect on our thinking about the origins of human disease, there was little evidence that he thought much about haemoglobin disorders either before or after the meeting in Stockholm at which he proposed his hypothesis. How did this all come about? Undoubtedly Haldane, like all population geneticists at the time, was interested in mutation rates.
