The popular perception is that evolution “sorts out” humankind’s genetic imperfections -- alas, not so. Humans continue to be born with genetic predispositions to disease that shorten or that drastically affect the quality of their lives. In some instances, those deleterious genes actually have benefits, but it is also possible that natural selection has yet to weed them out.
