I wouldn’t want to be critical of Galor and Moav until I had read their article, but the website piece suggests that they see people who learned to manipulate and industrialize the environment as being somehow superior to people who learned how to integrate with it and live within its constraints. It suggests that one form of human adaptation is superior to another or, really, that our industrialized mode of behaviour is better because it produces "higher-quality" offspring who are able to make the machine continue to move forward. This raises questions of forward to what and where our "high-quality children" are taking us, but I’ll leave that for the time being.
Ed
