Because the thing about evolution is Darwin... nailed his part of the question. We narrowed his answer to something that is too crude to be generally functional. It works for certain things. It fails to explain other things consistently. And the closer you get to human beings, the worse a job it does. Not because of anything Darwin got wrong. He was

probably to his benefit hobbled by what he didn't know because he didn't know the molecular part of the story he was unconstrained by it which forced him to speak in a general sense that turns out to be correct but

What you need to understand in order to follow how this story explains human beings is that the underlying story of evolution, the early one, pre-human story, is about genes getting into the future. That's what they do. That's what all creatures are doing. Every creature has the same purpose.

In creatures with meaningful culture, that is creatures in which there's generational overlap and sociality enough for something to be transmitted outside of the genome, you get a second kind of evolution. You have cultural evolution. And in human beings, this has become it's become the central element of the story. Genes are very slow to adapt, much faster than we typically think.

But nonetheless, it takes a very long time for a genetic change to spread across the human population. It takes no time at all for a cultural innovation to spread, for both better and worse. I understand. So what I'm arguing is that the genome, our genomes, have offloaded the evolutionary work to the layer of culture. And they've done that because culture can rapidly adapt. Right.

So, if you look at human beings and you expect to see a lot of evolution in the physical sense, you see some. You see distinctions between populations, but most of them are superficial. But you see radical divergence in cultural dynamics

systems those cultural systems are equally as adaptive as the genetic systems underneath so people often draw a distinction between biology and culture that's a false dichotomy biology or genes and culture are equally biological and the bitter pill that comes with the whole thing
