Is good genetics just good looks?

[JayAscension]

I always thought that having great genetics simply meant having great looks. Which can give you more opportunities and positive social reinforcement in life. But is that it?. Or does having great genetics correlate with physical health aswell? What else can great genes do for someone? Apart from looks and social reinforcement obviously

genes are a small confinement of your lineage's entire history, your physical characteristics are the expression of this, and so they're indicative of specific cues
