On the other hand, we're perfectly capable of acquiring skills that we didn't evolve to possess, e.g., flying planes.
We do have a general intelligence. Without it we'd be just smart chimps.
But in most fields where we have a dedicated module - visual recognition, spatial modeling, controlling our bodies, speech recognition and processing and creation - our GI couldn't begin to replace it. And we haven't been able to easily create equivalent algorithms (and the problems aren't just computing power).
