Summary Introduction

To review:

The human populations would likely evolve differently in areas of the world where HIV infection rates are high.

Introduction:

The genes (heritable traits) are passed from the parents to their offspring. The traits give identity to an individual. Few traits are required for the survival. Some genes undergo evolution for the better survival of the individual. The individuals with evolved traits produce offspring having the same traits. Thus, the frequency of such traits increases in a population and this leads to evolution.
