I have become very leary of this sort of rationalization.  Aside from the
obvious:
(at what cost did we evolve over thousands of years, how many lives were
lost because of technology etc. we didn't yet have) it does not take into
account how much our societies and ourselves have changed in lifestyles
over these thousands of years.  So much of our modern day illnesses would
not have existed long ago (ex: obesity) because lifestyles were so
different.
I, too, have great confidence in the human body's natural abilities but
I don't think it holds water to say:  well it worked for the human body
all this time in the past so...  We have new  "modified" human bodies
that may not work so well or may work better in specific circumstances.
Some of the change is due to evolution, some to modern society lifestyles
and some to environment, nonetheless we ALL have changed.  We are not the
same as we were thousands of years ago and I think we need to recognize
this and not compare today with yesterday.  JMHO anyone else have
thoughts?

PS I'm not trying to be nasty to the person who originally stated this so
don't send me flames, I have just heard this several times and it's
starting to not sit right as valid justification so I'm  just expressing
my opinion.
