If human malaria is only 10k old, it throws into doubt all the measures of how long ago the mitochondrial Eve and the y-chromosome Adam lived. That's because the selective pressure for sickle cell trait would have been seriously culling the African (in particular) genetic diversity. Seriously.

If we just taught creationism, the world would be 5000 years old and malaria would just be a human disease, and chimpanzees could go back to being cuddly mammals we keep in the zoo to throw rocks at, instead of these horrible disease dealing critters we're now going to have to eradicate, because who knows what they're going to poison us with next. And yes, this is sarcastic, for those of you with low sensitivities. See, this is all evolutions fault.
