Re: Natural selection wrong due to transmission of harmful genes

... disorders for obvious reasons. Here's some food for thought. Even with 6000 genetic disorders, the stability of the genome in our created kind is evident. We hear often of the negative part of NS, that is the "struggle for survival." There is also a positive side -- sexual competition ...
