  The upthread suggestion is actually of convergent, not divergent, evolution.

      It's amazing how bad our brains can be, even after a few million years of evolution. They're capable of flying a helicopter on Mars and cranking out a vaccine within months, as well as developing vast machines containing zettabytes of information -- and still can't retain a word for 15 seconds.

        All the amazing capabilities you mention are the result of cooperation between dozens, hundreds or even thousands of humans. Without doubt, individual people made millions of errors in the process, and each time some other contributor caught it. Single brains can only do that much, great things are the product of cooperation between humans.
