You're kidding, right. The Immune system is now being used as an example of evolution. Based on how much research. Tell us, are we more or less resistant to heart disease than we were 3000 years ago. That's right, you weren't measuring such things back then. There is no data. Therefore we cannot compare data to 3000 years ago to say that humans are overall stronger and more resistant than back then.. No fair stating the obvious, huh.

The Milano gene is being used to create treatments for high cholesterol, so there is quite a bit of research there.

You really can't be this dense, can you? The Milano gene appears in a discrete community of people. Therefore, it is clearly a mutation with positive effects and qualifies as evidence of transition. How hard is that to grasp? Did this mutation exist 3000 years ago? I have no idea, nor is it relevant. Typical moving of the goalposts. You asked for proof of human evolution, I gave it.

You still haven't responded to the super-strong gene, either.
