Culture, intelligence, memes, innovation etc. are also evolutionary subprocesses of our species. Evolution is gradient descent, so is learning. It's all the same. Entropy minimization or competitive negentropy consumption, if you want.

Our brain also produces hypotheses, tests them and repurposes the most successful ones as program fragments stored in synaptic weights. Trial and error, exploration, mutation, survival of the best hypotheses etc.
