Yes, but it took a couple billion years for natural selection to do it, and it's a Texas sharpshooter fallacy to draw a target around a currently observed humanity that could have turned out much differently. Us hitting that same target in decades rather than millennia is a staggeringly different exercise.

Except that we're rapidly becoming better shots, and we're aiming at a target that's already been drawn.
