I tend to draw a very sharp line between anything that happens inside a brain and anything that happened in evolutionary history. There are good reasons for this!
Counterpoint: the brain evolves and has an evolutionary history of its own which takes place within an individual’s lifespan. Organic evolution and brain evolution thus share copying, variation, selection, and evolutionary theory (kin selection, drift, adaptation, etc). So: best to go easy with the “very sharp line”.
