No one did. That's not how evolution works. There is no plan, and no one decided how it would work in the future. Your second question makes me think that you're thinking of evolution as "progress", that everything is evolving towards something. It is not. That is, you're asking, given an adaption, what is the likelihood of those genes existing? But that's backwards; the genes caused the outcome.
