=====Doctor Darwin: Diseases That Cheat Natural Selection===== | |||
[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/insidenova/2012/06/doctor-darwin-2.html by Lori Fingerhut 29/6/12 PBS] | |||
It's a basic tenet of biology that natural selection picks the most advantageous traits and passes them on to the next generation. Why, then, do people still suffer from debilitating genetic diseases? Shouldn't the genes that code for these diseases be removed from the population over time? How did they manage to keep themselves around during the course of human evolution? It turns out that there may be a reason that genes for harmful diseases survive evolutionary selection and pass from generation to generation. | |||
