When we think of genome evolution, we typically think of the accumulation of mutations and variants within a gene that renders its function to be improved or altered and allows the individual to be better adapted to the environment and more likely to thrive. The outcome in ancient Humans (or I guess any other species for that matter) is that individual would be stronger and more likely to reproduce, and perhaps even produce more offspring that would ultimately carry the beneficial traits forward.
