“. . . one would then have to ask why natural selection would go to all the trouble of evolving such an unfathomably mysterious feature, instead of relying solely upon the biological equivalent of the algorithmic processes that AI uses.” This sentence presents what seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution through natural selection, the basis of biological science. Natural selection does not go to any trouble at all; it is the interaction of adaptation to a given environment through genetic mutation that just happens to represent superior adaptation to the environment, resulting in individuals with the superior adaptation leaving more offspring. The author hints as much when he refers to Darwin’s godless formulation. It is worth noting, too, that human evolution is not necessarily over, nor is our environment anything like unchanging.
