See, that's more a question that falls under the purview of evolution. It isn't necessarily so cut and dry since for evolution to happen you need both mutation AND differential fitness. Humans are strange since unless you have people with a non beneficial trait reproducing less frequently than those with a beneficial one, the "beneficial" allele isn't going to be at any particular advantage in the population.
Of course the obvious work around here is that selection instead takes the form of artificially choosing people with those alleles to be sent out together on a ship, but even that's not really a guarentee.
What's more likely is that isolated populations of humanity will begin to express more pronouncedly the recessive alleles common to that population, and evolve neutral mutations that become prolific in the population that are entirely unique to that group of humans. All this will happen just through neutral mutations. See, not every change in evolution has to be an adaptation, sometimes random mutations just happen and stick along for the ride for no reason other than chance.
That's just my understanding anyway.

So /an/ anons. What selective pressures caused this creature to evolve?
