If a tough, cunning warrior who was the sole survivor of a terrible battle arrives home and conceives a child while suffering from exhaustion and a chest infection, are they classed as "unhealthy" and the genes that allowed survival are therefore less likely to be passed on? Conversely, if someone conceives a child with the uncoordinated, short-sighted imbecile who was left in camp and is doing OK, does that make their expressed genes more likely to be passed on? | |
