But you see it isn’t a failure, in fact it’s literally the most successful yet. Evolutionary adaptations don’t come about because they make life comfortable they make it so one can live long enough to make babies, everything else is just a bonus
Which is why the whole thing kinda starts to break down once a species reaches a point where the specimens can survive after they can no longer produce offspring. Like humans.
There’s multiple examples of the same thing in other species. Typically it’s a social animal where passing on accumulated knowledge is a survival strategy. Whales are one example, I’d have to look up the others.
