abstract
It is shown that in a model in which up-type and down-type fermions acquire mass from different Higgs doublets, the anthropic tuning of the Higgs mass parameters can explain the fact that the observed masses of the $d$ and $u$ quarks are nearly the same with $d$ slightly heavier. If Yukawa couplings are assumed not to "scan" (vary among domains), this would also help explain why the t quark is much heavier than the b quark. It is also pointed out that the existence of dark matter invalidates some earlier anthropic arguments against the viability of domains where the Standard Model Higgs has positive $\mu^2$, but makes other even stronger arguments possible.

Dark Matter and Naturalness
A dark SU(3)xSU(2) gauge theory with one generation of chiral fermions naturally produces stable dark baryons with mass around 150 TeV as the dark matter.
