Evolution enables beings to change to fit their own needs and/or environment (for instance, humans walking around on two legs rather than 4 paws). How was the system that allows those changes implemented?
Isn't that a little 'post hoc ergo propter hoc'? You speak of the rules and mechanisms in what is essentially a noisy system, that is influenced by a changing environment. It is strange that some commonalities can be found in the resulting behaviour?

Also, have a look at emergent behaviour Behaviour doesn not have to planned to conform to certain rules.
