We now also have computers.

I suspect the optimal evolved system in a modern environment (efficient and effective) is an idiot savant that can live long enough to spit out the source code for an AI guaranteed to increase the inclusive fitness of the genes of the host.

Genetic engineering and sperm/egg donation are other modern inventions I don't think we are all exploiting to increase our fitness optimally.
