Each baby that is born has about 1,000 mutations, and many more of these are deleterious than advantageous. Up until about 1800, brutal natural selection kept the deleterious mutations in check. But since 1800 advances in human societies have substantially relaxed natural selection such that deleterious mutations are now accumulating in our genomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the gene pool problem.
