Evolution be like...

"I can only keep this cell line going for so long, if I want it to specialize in all these ways... this is fine!"

Then evolution be like...

"Hey bro, as long as you're gonna die anyway, 'cause of that decision I made X to the million generations ago, I'm not gonna spend resources maintaining this other thing you've got going on. Sorry not sorry!"

THEN evolution be like that 10,000 more times.
