In the below post , Bernard Crespi draws out the implications for personalized . medicine An expanding population grows on a double-edged population-genetic sword . On one edge , we have increasing scope for beneficial mutations , because more people means a larger number of genome targets for rare , good mutations , and less chance of early loss by drift .

They include the need for both proximate and evolutionary explanations , kin selection ,
