Advantageous variant trait

Reference no: EM1384820

During the nineteenth century, the new theory of evolution was criticized on grounds that if an advantageous variant trait happened to appear in a population, the individual carrying the trait would only be able to mate with less fit individuals. These progeny would almost certainly also mate with less fit individuals, and so on. With time, the trait would be diluted out. Darwin himself admitted he did not know how to refute this objection. Do you?
