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. | Evolutionary theory is clear that any kind of consistent reproductive disadvantage is consistently and ultimately weeded out of the population.
