A lot of things are changing during evolution. For example the genes that were beneficial to human in ancient time give high diabetes risk in modern society.

As to cooperation and competition, war is part of evolution that leads to the formation of modern human. But with invention of nuclear weapon the original rules that benefit to whole specie (but not individuals) are not applied any more. So Chomsky's view might just happened to match a modified better pattern then the politically incorrect but factually correct "fundamentally unjust universe" view that I partially agree with

Somethimes it isn't "modern society" and just the gallons of coke you can buy in super markets to the price of water. Well, on the other hand that isn't too different to classical evolutional processes that rely on chance.
