Human morphology can climb Mount Everest and do Olympic ice-skating even though it was evolved for running in the savanna. That still doesn't mean it is a general locomotion system -- it is hyperspecialized.https://twitter.com/VahidK/status/1120871299507560448 …

Human cognition is the same: it was selected, in part, for adaptability & strong generalization. As such, despite its specialization, it achieves a *degree* of generality. It can solve an incredible range of problems.

This is still finite, and it still always ties back to the original purpose of the human mind -- to generate embodied behavior. That's the lens through which we process even the most abstract of problems.

Importantly, you should note that humans as a collective, over time -- civilization -- implement a problem-solvimg system capable of a far greater level of generality than an individual brain. This is still not general intelligence, though. It still ties back to the four Fs.

IDK if human morphology is particularly adaptable, we're particularly vulnerable without our tools and technology. If looking at morphology alone can probably learn more from bacteria and insect morphology.
