You are not going far enough back. We are genetically the same as humans for ~75,000 years ago. To all intents and purposes we are ice age hunters with smart phones.
will science save us?
Honestly, no. We have known about climate change and the dangers it poses for at least 50 years but we have done basically nothing.
Science is just informing us how screwed modern civilisation is over the next 100 years.

I was thinking less genetic and more cultural. That by good education, communication, government, diet, art… we might grow beyond our monkey nature.
But maybe the 99% will always be a monkey.
We are animals with built in characteristics. Unless science re engineers humans, then we will never change.
