Human cultural evolution has replaced gene evolution of the main way humans are advancing themselves, and you certainly point at the trend that ties them together.
One reason I didn’t dig into the anthropology record is that it is so fragmented, and I am not an expert in it—very little cross-communication between the fields, excepting in a few sub-disciplines such as taphonomy.
Really great point about a curious trend!
