It's especially impressive when you consider that evolution hasn't had very long to produce these results.

Humans as an intelligent-ish species have been around for about 10 million years depending on where you define the cutoff. At 10 years per generation, that's 1 million generations for our brain to evolve.

1 million generations isn't much by machine learning standards.

I think you're underestimating how much our time as pre-humans baked useful structure into our brains.

Two rocks smashing together experience which one is bigger!

These sorts of motor skills are probably older than mammals.

Other than our large neocortex and frontal lobe (which exists in some capacity in mammals), the rest of the structures are evolutionarily ancient. Pre-mammalian in fact.

Its much more than that if you count sexual reproduction.
