My immune system is either really over taxed because I'm in and among the hoi polloi, or I lack the Neaderthal genes to fight off infection. Either way, every Fall I fold like a cheap suit and go down for at least a week. As for the genetic predilection or immunity to certain diseases, we will find out that we owe a lot to our species' forbears such as the Neaderthal, Denisovan, or Hindu. I think we'll find out that moder Human has a crappy immune system and is prone to cancer, viruses, diabetes, etc.
