Evolution has been optimising humans to learn to walk as babies; it hasn't selected (directly, or anywhere near as strongly) for ability to do Topology.
That's true, but an adult will still learn topology a lot faster than a baby :).
I guess whether "adults learn faster" depends on how you look at it. Adults can learn any given thing faster than babies, but babies are getting the low-hanging fruit.
