The work of Karl Popper suggests than human knowledge also progresses in an evolutionary manner, by conjecture and refutation. So something resembling natural selection must be going on in our brains.

Human knowledge in general might, but I'm talking about how humans take action and shape the world around them vs how evolution does. Conjecture and refutation are not like random mutations -- that's just the "survival of the fittest" part of evolution, which is not the actual mechanism and which applies to everything (after all, anything that survives is fitter that what didn't).
