Yes, but what we understand about how the process of natural selection shaped the human brain looks even less like a neural network than what we understand about brains. I guess if we want to reduce the comparison to something vague like "the human brain and neural networks both developed over many iterations," I could agree with that, but that doesn't seem very interesting. If the two were actually comparable, it would look more like: 1. Use NN (or GP) to develop set of hyper parameters 2. Give said HP to neural nets that, thanks to the HP, can be trained on a very limited said of data. I am not aware of any successes with methods like these.
