Sure, but then you could apply the statement to anything new enough that there hasn't been anywhere near enough time for adaptations to evolve. The human brain certainly didn't evolve to read books, or do computer programming, or fly airplanes, or play chess. The trick is that the human brain did evolve (according to your interpretation of the phrase) to solve general problems and maintain strong and complex social bonds, which happens to lend itself to many things, including reading books, playing chess, etc.
