 ===== Interplay between environmental factors and genes =====
-Does evolutionary evidence support the theory that disease is the product of the interplay between human genes and environment? The role would have to be a small one as any kind of strong genetic disposition for acquiring disease would be breeded out of the population given that any other trait, which impinges on reproductive fitness, is.

The role would have to be a small one as any kind of strong genetic disposition for acquiring disease would be bred out of the population given that any other trait, which impinges on reproductive fitness, is bred out.
 Evolutionary theory is clear that any kind of consistent reproductive disadvantage is consistently and ultimately weeded out of the population. People whose genes confer upon them an elevated risk of disease compared to the general population - whether it be because of susceptibility to environmental factors or because of a variety of genes are interacting - have reduced evolutionary fitness.
