I'm not a geneticist, but I thought there was something called a
"Black Gene"  or a "Death Gene" or something-- where if more than 2-3%
of a population is unable to carry out a process necessary to
survival, the entire population will die out.  Does this ring a bell
with anyone?  (I remembering studying it in college genetics, but
can't recall the exact name.)

This is why I put *no* faith in stats like the one above-- it would
seem to me that humans would be extinct by now if 1 in 20 babies were
unable to be *fed* properly.
