People used to think it works like this, but it's actually even more fascinating!

The vampires could still kill some people who domesticated garlic, but only those whose garlic was weak. This introduced evolutionary pressure, or in other words: by accident, they selected for stronger garlic.

It's like when you take antibiotics and stop too soon, leaving only the most resistant bacteria alive.
