what's evolved and what hasn't.

Here I want to turn to Richard Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins writes,
-
If a child has had bad teaching in mathematics,
-
it is accepted that a resulting deficiency can be remedied
-
by extra-good teaching in the following year.
-
But any suggestion that the child's deficiency
-
might have a genetic origin
-
is likely to be greeted with something approaching despair.
-
If it's in the genes,
-
it is determined and nothing can be done about it.
