Regarding your 3. point: Humans are the most heavily selected/bred species of all.
You have all heard about “domesticated animals/plants” - i.e. cows give more milk, apple trees give more and bigger and sweeter apples.
But i think more intensely than all these species, humans are selectively bred as well. We select for beauty, successfulness, intelligence, funniness, witfulness, idk what else. And that certainly drives evolution is a certain way. That’s why humans have evolved more rapidly than any other species in the last 10K years, including ability to speak, and other traits, i think.
