My point is that you need some high-level ("System 2") processing ... since these are not the sort of things that existed in the ancestral environment. 

You either are using "System 2" with a narrower meaning than standard or are making a factually incorrect assumption. (There were no cars in the ancestral environment, and some people have driven cars while sleepwalking.)

Once you learn how to drive a car, you can do it using only System 1, but you need System 2 to learn it.
