Does every fact about human physiology & psychology need to be directly evolutionarily beneficial, though? I would expect that some things are harmful side effects of other beneficial things, some things are harmful but not-that-bad overall and not totally selected out, and some things are just due to constraints which can’t easily be overcome. I don’t think every frailness and vulnerability that human bodies have is evolutionarily beneficial; I don’t see why that would be true of human minds, either.
