What you ignore is, that we are able to evaluate
which social structures can be more beneficial
for us in the future, and we have the capacity
to change our social structures inside of a few hundred years
rather then waiting for biological evolution taking it's

Just because chimps live in a particular way, doesn't mean
same is best for humans. After all - taking your argument -
our "unnatural" ways made us the more successful species
in your preferred biological sense.
