Even civilization as a whole has not been around nearly long enough for our species to be very well adapted to it. The species we cite as well adapted for civilized life were really adapted for other traits that just happenstance were relevant in an urban environment; like a pigeon's propensity to nest in a building ledge coming from its propensity to nest on a rocky cliff, or how if you kill off all bad for human predators like wolves, you'd be left with urban coyotes to fill the niche and this doesn't mean anything really about the coyote vs the wolf's ability to survive in the city (independent of humans killing them of course). Of course we are all suffering from mental illness and poor physical health and this that and the other thing all the time. All we do is stress out about what others think about ourselves and sit around lethargic. We didn't spend millions of years of mutation and selection to be the most optimal couch potato. We spent it to be a master forager of the environment, setting out on foot by morning for resources when the weather and light is good, and spending the day and evening in engineering or creative pursuits. I'm convinced even language had a role to play in changing our behavior dramatically in this way, since often what we do in life is limited to what we are able to communicate with words or thoughts in our language with its finite set of descriptors.
