Not saying that you're wrong, but your line of reasoning is incorrect. It could also have been because all the people with peanut allergies have died and the people surviving all have some sort of genetic advantage against peanut allergy.

Again, the above reasoning is wrong but not completely baseless.

I see what you mean, I'm not so sure if there's a genetic connection to allergies (specific to allergies, not intolerances, which are a different thing) and/or how strong it is relating to different elements
