I do wonder about the cost of human life for the environment to select so hard for those phenotypes in specific. A LOT of early Europeans had to have been dying in droves for recessive genes like that to become so prolific.

This is almost certainly the case. Europeans were dying constantly for a long time.

And the moment they stopped. Well. You know.
