If we imagine removing the easiest prediction tasks (which evolution has already solved) from the human sciences:
I think a lot depends here on what it means to for a task to be "solved".
After all, we already have "folk physics", just like we have "folk psychology". If we're to throw a rock, we can sort of visualise a parabola-like trajectory, for instance. If we're to release an apple from a hand, we can roughly predict where it will land. Much like with human sciences, evolution has already solved these tasks for us.
