What that friend meant was that DNA determines how fit we are (both physically and mentally) for the environment we live in, so 10.000 years ago we were built to live a not too complicated life, using not too complicated tools. Our DNA hasn't changed much at all since then, but we're living in places, using tools and doing things that "we weren't built for". Just because we (i.e. humanity as a whole) know how make a nuke bomb doesn't mean that we (i.e. certain individuals or groups of individuals) can handle that responsibility.

Just because a 2 year old who knows how to open the drawer and take a knife out doesn't imply that (s)he will handle it in a safe manner.

Well, this is heading off topic, sorry.
