> Evolution is short-sighted in a way that is hard to overstate. It exclusively cares about the current environment This isn't quite accurate; while some evolutionary pressures are indeed exclusively short-term, not all are. For instance, ability of eukaryotes to have multiple alleles of individual genes combined with sexual reproduction allow populations to maintain a large diversity of alleles and genes, which have the effect of allowing large-scale "split testing" and also "alternatives" for different current environments that may appear over time.
