Because I assumed this boy is living evidence of human evolution in action. I didn't know there is record of beneficial mutations of humanity as you claimed.

Just because it's common doesn't mean it couldn't be a mutation. Every attractive trait is beneficial, more so (I would speculate) than a trait that increases survival. Anyway, beneficial traits aren't scrutinized as closely as deleterious ones because people don't complain about it and go to a hospital to have it checked out.
