We evolved hyperbolic discounting for a reason.
Careful. Spandrels exist (although it seems likely at this point that Gould overestimated how common they were).
I suppose it could also be a spandrel in its entirety, but that would take more of an explanation than the idea that the change in hyperbolic discounting is a spandrel.
