Somebody saying how they aren't mentioned probably cuz people wouldn't have known about them then or they would've been killed.

If they were killed then I would expect some sort of mention about them - their rights etc.

so, their existence is a new phenomena?

Nope.

No idea if they are mentioned, but they are dealt with in early Islamic history and law and corrective surgery for them is necessary to push them one way or the other (its never 50/50 but 90/10, 70/30 etc.)

yes, but if Islamic law covers it then same thing. (But that would have to be from the Qur'an and sunnah anyway, no?) Basically I expect Islam to mention something about them.

Can they not be addressed under the topic of diseases?

I assume they have always been there and there is dealings with them, precedent on how the rulings apply.
