Often in more enhanced ways that benefit humanity in ways neurotypical minds would never conceive of. 🤷 Like running your software on a PC vs Linux. Use the wrong one and neither will work very well.
Maybe that's why it still exists and hasn't been weeded out by natural selection over thousands of years...
