    Sometimes it’s not the thing that gives an advantage, but the thing it’s connected to. Perhaps the same same gene that gives them a micropenis also makes them really fit in some other area. It’s unlikely, but possible that the genetic mutation makes them immune to some devastating disease in the future. Genetics are complex.
