    A second spleen is probably just a developmental defect and not genetic in any way.

    Also, that’s not how evolution works. “Evolutionary pressure” doesn’t cause spontaneous gene changes to appear. Genes naturally drift and mutate, and then selection pressures might eventually favor one set of genes over another.
