Unwanted biochemistry that would benefit us?

[QUOTE="BillTre, post: 6856967, member: 581757"] Do you mean, is there something that biochemically could happen in the body (and be useful and good for the body), but does not, due to the organisms specific genetics? [LIST] [*]mutations could happen in certain individuals that block a useful pathway [*]populations of people could lose a genetically encoded ability in an environment where it was not needed and then move to a place where it would be useful [/LIST] Selection will drive populations to better adapted situations depending on things like how good or bad is an option versus its alternatives, and the population size of the breeding population. There is a region where selection will not have an effect and drift and other things can affect things. [/QUOTE]
