#45. An intellectual during the night ravished his grandmother and for this got a beating from his father. He complained: “You’ve been mounting my mother for a long time, without suffering any consequences from me. And now you’re mad that you found me screwing your mother for the first time ever!”
#69. An intellectual checked in on the parents of a dead classmate. The father was wailing: “O son, you have left me a cripple!” The mother was crying: “O son, you have taken the light from my eyes!” Later, the intellectual suggested to his friends: “If he were guilty of all that, he should have been cremated while still alive.”
#73. The same intellectual said that the tomb of Scribonia was handsome and lavish, but that it had been built on an unhealthy site.
#234. A man with bad breath asked his wife: “Madame, why do you hate me?” And she said in reply: “Because you love me.”

That being said, I think it's far more likely that genetic conditions and predispositions to disease will be resolved through genetic engineering, not natural selection.
According to the abstract, there has been a significant (p-value of under 0.001) increase in the prevalence of mid-arm arteries over time, which has been corroborated by multiple studies.
After removing studies that focus specifically on the evolutionary aspect of this change, the p-value is 0.018, which still suggests a correlation.
