Natural selection also to the suppression of certain traits in a population. Humans have the capacity to influence certain characteristics/traits in an organism. Technologies have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in an organism. Traits that support successful survival and reproduction in a new environment become more common; those that do not become less common.
