But it's unsurprising that evolution doesn't require knowledge. Hasn't for billions of years.

Quite true.

One of the funny things about this is that, in human societies, cultural evolution has operated to make the basic demands of biological evolution part of "folk wisdom." The university-eductated feminists claim to revere such folk wisdom (because it's pre-industrial) yet they totally miss and actively reject its main precepts, as regards marriage and children. Which is to say they are rejecting those of its precepts most central to the human condition!
