Perhaps nothing. Any trait that natural selection is blind to could pass, but many would pick-up deleterious mutations as the organisms possessing such traits would not be eliminated from the gene pool. Great ape vitamin C synthesizing pathways are one example of this. One gene coding for a part of this pathway has been ' knocked out ' by mutations and great apes ( including us ) can not synthesize vitamin C.
