Martin,
you are being silly. Right now both cockroaches and human beings exist.
Both have survived. In a time before the existence of human beings, the
non-existence of human beings did not prove that intelligence was
undesirable, or evolutionarily sub-optimal, or inferior to the
proven method of surviving by being a cockroach. Evolution is not
*purposeful* in the way that you seem to imply.
