Mantha: Genetics for Dummies

It might be an example of how “defects” might be treated in human populations differently than animal populations, thus impacting what we might expect in survival rates, mutation rates, etc.

Many such defects are not inherited. Even those that are inherited would have zero effect on mutation rates.

Finally, keep in mind that survival isn’t the metric for evolution. It’s reproduction.
