The lecturer describes how specific characteristics develop. In this case, he discusses eye marking. The impact of environmental factors significantly influences the likelihood of successful reproduction, as favorable genes are more likely to be passed on, thereby repeating the same characteristic. A very interesting point is that the level of disease occurring after reproductive years in humans is exponential, simply because these occurrences are part of the natural selection process.
